One of the nicest things about creating these movies, is that they can be then shared via You Tube, copied on a flash drive to go home and they can also be burned onto a DVD so that people without a computer can still watch them.
After watching some videos from You Tube or past projects for inspiration, we get to work. For the first three projects below, we need to take many photos. The PP project is a little different, but still requires many pictures.
You will need to save movie, and then select how to save it. I choose for computer as that lets me put the movies on flash drives, DVDs and anywhere else.
I have done four types of stop-motion animation with the children.
1. Using objects. This is easyish to do. I have the children use objects found in the class or from home. The possibilities are endless - one group played a soccer game using shoes and balls.
2. Using people. More difficult to do. I would recommend having a parent volunteer take the photos.
3. Using the white board. The children draw a little at a time. They really enjoy erasing a little at a time - makes for magic.
4. Using PowerPoint. Again, easyish to do. Once you teach the technique, it just takes time to produce.
