Learning about Stop Motion Animation

As our second Great Maker Challenge begins, one of our most creative students provided a tutorial on movie making.  Bryce taught our tech club how to plan, create and film an original movie using the free Stickbot Studios app.

Students learned how to film their stickbot characters to show movement by taking a series of pictures. The students were surprised to learn at least ten to fifteen pictures are needed to show one movement.

The greenscreen app and special effects feature help enhance the videos and are especially easy to use!

Students learned how to finalize their videos and share their creative works.

After the tutorial, students began to brainstorm ideas for a storyline, plan out their characters, and decide what type of props would be needed to create their masterpiece.

Happy filming!
