Stop-Motion Animation

We're getting ready to move on to our next exciting project---Stop-Motion Animation!

Period 5 has a head start on the action, since they've finished shooting their film, "Beautiful Rose".  We've already started looking at the vocabulary of animation, and applying that to examples.

Periods 3 & 7 will start prepping for this project on Fridays, as they finish shooting their Horror films during the week.

Teams of students will create a short (1-minute) stop-motion animation project over the next 6 weeks.  This timeline includes the planning, pre-production, production and post-production (editing) phases.

We'll also be learning how to use NEW editing software.  Adobe Premiere has long been one of the leading industry-standard software packages for editing, and has now overtaken Final Cut.  As soon as the software is installed, we'll be engaging in short lessons on how to use the Premiere interface, and getting some hands-on editing practice with our footage from your Horror film.

More details coming soon!
