8th Media Arts, Stop-Motion Animation

Do now:
Answer question, share at tables.

Activities:
We will begin a stop-motion animation project.
Stop-motion examples:

Form groups of 3 or 4.
Person 1- Director: Oversees the filming and production. Follows the storyboard.
Person 2- Camera-person. Makes sure each shot is properly lit, in focus and steady.
Persons 3 (and 4)- Actors: Either act in the movie or control the set/characters/objects.

First we will make our sets and take photos. Then you will follow the steps on your worksheet to make your animation in iMovie. Ms. Fowler will give you a demonstration.
