Found object animation/Hand drawn animation
Assignment #5 – Stop Motion Intro: 2 Stop Motion “Play” Exercises.
Students use the skills acquired from creating previous animation stories – iPad app iMotion will be the primary tool to learn basic stop motion animation; adjusting frame rates, creating scenes and settings, using tripods for fixed frame views, etc.
Play 1 – Students use found objects to create a 10-15 second stop motion animation “story”, suggested 10 frames/sec. Export iMotion footage, and import to iMovie on the iPad, add sound and export to upload to their ePortfolios.
10 Points
Play 2 – Students create a 30-45 second drawn stop motion animation using pens and/or pencils on paper, or dry erase markers on the white board. The idea is to create a “build” or evolving/growing objects as part of a story. Suggested 10 frames/sec.
Reflection: I thought that this was a really fun assignment. I really enjoyed it. I hope that you really enjoyed the beautiful works of art as well.
