New Assignment: Stop Motion Short

Hello Students,

Your next assignment is to create a stop motion animation. You can use a point-and-shoot digital camera, cell phone camera (as long as you can copy off the images) or a video camera that uses a still-image shooting mode.

Stop Motion Animation Project:

• This is an individual project, no teams. Students may assist each other during the animation process.
• Come up with a simple animation idea, stop motion with people, objects, clay, drawings etc...
• Use a digital camera to shoot the frames of your stop motion animation
• Image sequences can be compiled with Final Cut or After Effects and turned into an animated sequence. You could turn a sequential series of photographs into an animation by importing the the folder of images into Final Cut, and adjusting the timing afterwards
• Animation should run between 30-60 seconds
• Check out the samples below for some ideas
• Project is due on Monday the 7th
