Stop Motion Animation Project

As promised, here's some additional information on our Stop Motion Animation Project

  • You will need a camera to capture images of your project.
  • Consider how you want the finished piece to look.  What do you imagine this video animation doing? Draw that in your sketchbook.
  • What materials do you want to use?  Remember, this must address both color and balance (keep reading).
  • Keep a record of everything you do in your sketchbook.  Remember, your sketchbook must be full by the end of the semester (see your syllabus).
  • When you are ready to begin, select your materials and what you will use as your "background".
  • Place materials on your "background" surface, photograph them, then move things slightly before taking the next photo.  Repeat this process many times to create a "moving image". 
  • You can test your progress by "flipping" back and forth between images on your camera or on a computer.
Here is some information about Asymmetrical Balance
