Interactive Digital Education Academy (IDEA) Spyhop, held a workshop at Murray High. Here are some tips and tricks we learned about stop motion animation using iMovie. Have your students simply mix digital photography, iMovie and a little imagination for an enjoyable creative experience.
Pre-production includes creating a:
* storyboard
* background and
* something to animate (inanimate objects create the biggest effect).
Possibilities include:
1. Clay - first create a wire armateur and be sure to create a wide and heavy base so that it will stand. (Tools you may need are wire cutters, pencil, toothpicks)
2. Pipe cleaners
3. Legos
4. A box of miscellaneous toys is a good jumping off point!
