Stop-Motion Using a Whiteboard

The children like this one, but it can be tricky.  You really must use a tripod, and I also draw a large box on the board, so that the children know where their screen is.  The need to draw a little of their picture, take a photo, draw, photo and so on.  The children get so excited about this one, that we often have a child in the photo, so I always remind them to wait until all is clear.

We also like to draw the picture and then erase a little at a time, especially with our finger.  If you put the slides into MovieMaker backwards, it looks like finger is doing the drawing.

Once you have enough slides, open up Windows MovieMaker, insert all photos, set the time to 0.25 and you have your movie.
