What’s more fun than making movies!? Learn the fundamentals of movie making and stop motion animation. Students will learn multiple stop motion techniques including paper, LEGO, claymation, and using real people in their stop motion shorts. They’ll also learn about set design. Then they’ll put their new skills to work creating their own mini flicks! Parents will be invited to come a bit early on the last day of camp for a stop motion film festival.
Students are welcome to bring their own or a family phone for this class. We use Stop Motion Studio, a free iOS/Android app. (There is an in app purchase that opens up more features but we’ll focus on the free features.) Students are also welcome to use Einstein’s Workshop phones if they don’t bring their own.
See some videos from previous Stop Motion classes here.
