In 4/5 Vandermey we have been working on creating stop motion films as part of our English unit.

Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique where objects are moved in small increments between each photographed picture so that they will appear to move when the pictures are played back.

Students were first asked to create a storyboard of what their story will be about.

Next, students were required to choose how they wanted to create their characters. They could use everyday materials like fruit or toy animals, modelling clay, paper or themselves!

At the moment, students are working on capturing the pictures of their characters.

This is quite a lengthy process which takes patience and perseverance.
After taking pictures, the students will need to upload and edit their pictures into the software program, and also add any sound effects or voices into their film.

The students are having a blast learning about stop motion and we look forward to seeing and sharing their finished products.
