The Full Story
Stop Motion
Learning Targets: I can create a video using stop motion. I can edit a video using stop motion. I can explain a little history of stop motion.

What is stop Motion?
Stop motion is a video or animation that is captured/created one frame at a time with objects being moved between frames. When the frames are put in a video sequence, the illusion of motion/movement is created.
You are going to create a video using stop motion. The whole video will be a stop motion and should be 2-3 minutes long.
​
Assignment:
Step 1: Proposal- Come up with an idea and plot.
Step 2: Get cameras and TRIPODS to take photos.
Step 3: Shoot photos of moving objects/people a little each time. Think toys! And make sure the background fits with what your objects are doing. Should have at least 4-5 photos minimum for each second. Puts you at 300-500 photos for 1 minute.
Step 4: Import photos into Premiere. Then change the duration of each photo until movement is smooth.
Step 5: Add titles, music, voiceovers, sounds, etc.
See the examples below of Stop Motion Lego. It will give you a starting point. But, this video needs a little more plot, music and editing...So just use it for an idea if needed.
Evolution of Stop Motion
How long ago did stop motion begin? Watch the video to find out and see how it has changed over the years.
1933 King Kong
A giant ape climbs the Empire State Building. This movie is a great example of early stop motion in Movies​

Early Stop Motion
Use the Launchpad to see if you have Adobe After Effects. If you see it, skip to the next video. If you do not have the app, use this video to learn how to use the Creative Cloud App to Install Adobe After Effects
Nightmare Before Christmas
This was one of the most popular stop motion movies ever made. This movie took 3 years to film a 76-minute movie. It was filmed at 24FPS (frames per second). For each second, they had to move the objects 24 times​
Examples
Types of Stop Motion
Cut Out
Assets are hand-drawn and then cut out to be moved. A character will be cut out in parts and have different views (3/4 vs front). A background will be used to also animate.
Claymation
Using clay is probably the most popular medium when working with stop motion. Characters are modeled and moved according to the story. The background can be 2D or modeled in clay also.
Live Action
Using people and their actions to mimic real action, but the action looks a little different compared to real life.
Objects
Using objects is another way to create stop motion. Legos and other toys are very popular and give creators a wide variety of options to create their stories. A lego stop motion is called a brick film.
