Stop-motion animation involves taking still photographs of objects moved in small increments to create the illusion of movement when viewed as a continuous sequence. The document discusses an upcoming student project to create stop-motion videos using the iMotion app. It outlines the steps of brainstorming and developing a story, building props and sets, shooting the movie by taking incremental photos, and sharing the final video. Tips are provided such as keeping the story and movements simple, using quality backgrounds, and taking a sufficient number of frames to make the animation smooth.

- 2. + What is stop-motion animation? A kind of animation using photographs Still pictures are pieced together and flipped through rapidly to give the illusion of a movement or time passing, creating a movie The object is moved in small increments for each photographed frame, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence Characters and objects can be made of a variety of movable materials across backgrounds and sets or stages Here is an ad for iMotion…the app we’ll be using!
- 3. + Let’s get familiar with vocabulary: iMotion – the app we will use to shoot our movies Frame – a single photograph Frames per second – how many photographs, when grouped with the rest of the photos, are seen in a second More frames per second = faster Less frames per second = slower Ghost image – a faint image of the picture you just took will appear in iMotion so that you may line up your new photo so that your character or set has moved slightly from the image before…what is seen as the ghost image We’ll explore these in the iMotion demo
- 4. + Let’s get familiar with the steps of this project: Individual story brainstorm Group story brainstorm Story and idea Propose to Miss Eggers Build sets and props Shoot movie Finalize and Export Share Fill out Rubric
- 5. + Creating your movie: The simpler the idea the better You will be deciding how to communicate an idea about color theory Color mixing, color families, color vocabulary Consider materials that can be found in the art room for your set and props – you are welcome to bring items from home, but their safety isn’t necessarily guaranteed :/ Think of a small action sequence An adventure tale Re-telling or re-create a familiar story Make a “how-to” A timelapse
- 6. + Let’s get familiar with jobs: You will all take part in drafting the story, and building sets and characters On the shooting day(s) you will each perform all of the rolls within this process: Photographer Mover Storyteller/timekeeper
- 7. + Helpful Hints: You must stay on track with the daily schedule and goals! Keep your story short but interesting Quality made sets and backgrounds = better movie Smaller movements and more frames = better movie, less choppy (at least 50 frames – 300-500 = great movie) What should you do if you don’t get along? LET’S LOOK AT THE PACKET AND SOME EXAMPLES
