Unit 33 Stop Motion Animation Production Session 1: Tech Intro

Animation [Definition] Creating the illusion of life and movement.

Your challenge this term is to create a bank of stop motion clips suitable for performance (using Serato video) against a piece of music (preferably your own).

This session you will start by getting to know the Stop Motion Studio Pro app as you experiment with ways to bring movement to your own characters.

Session Objective:
Be able to use the Stop Motion Studio Pro app to create character movement.

Task 1:
Working in a small group / pair experiment with use of the Stop Motion Studio Pro app to create at least three different types of character movement.
(Tip: depending on the stability of your character model you may prefer to use the model standing - for more freedom / lying down for more stability)

Task 2: 
Sign into your G-drive and upload your sequences as project files AND finished clips.
