So you Want To....

Make A Stop-Motion

In order to make a stop-motion, the things you will need are:

• ·      A camera or an app through a phone or D.S
• ·      Objects to take pictures of
• ·      Patience

A stop-motion is a series of pictures taken, to bring inanimate objects to life. This form of film is used mostly for claymation. Popular shows that used stop-motion include Wallace and Gromit.

Here’s how to do it yourself.

1.     Pick an object or two…or more to take the pictures of

2.     Set them up with how you want them at first

3.     Take the picture.

4.     Move them between half of an inch to an inch

5.     Take another picture

The key to this is to take a picture every time you move the object you want to make the stop motion of. When you’re done, or if you just want to see how it’s going, then just play it. Some people make short ones that take a day. We have seen videos of people who it took them days to months.We aren't sure how long it took these guys, but it's still pretty good.
