Stop-Motion Animation - Session 2 of 2 ( for 7 - 11 year olds)

Part 2: Shooting & Editing The Animation

In this session, children will place their characters onto the set and learn the fundamentals of stop-motion animation. By making small movements and capturing each step with a camera, they’ll create individual frames that, when played in sequence, bring their animation to life.

Three cameras will be set up to capture multiple angles, adding depth to their scenes. Using an iPad, Michael will demonstrate how to arrange photo frames into a sequence, giving children a detailed insight into the animation process.
