Using the Stop Motion Studio app on an iPhone or iPad, students will learn how to create stories for their stop motion animation videos. Students may use bricks, action figures, or any materials they may have at home. However, some lessons will emphasize and be for bricks specifically. This class uses the Stop Motion Studio Pro app for approximately $4.99. Many of the features demonstrated in the class are only be available for those with the pro version. This class is taught using the app on an iPad and the teacher can demonstrate on an iPhone as well. The Android version looks a little different and the teacher can not demonstrate it for Android. The computer version is very different and not recommended for this class. It is also recommended to use a stand for your device. Here is a breakdown of each class lesson: Class one: Teacher demonstration: Introduction to the app, basic movements, how to erase, make a minifigure walk/run, make an object or minifigure fly (PRO VERSION REQUIRED) Student activity: Post a video of what you have made so far. Comment on two other learners' videos. Class two: Teacher demonstration: Voiceovers and audio editing, movie speed, foregrounds, filters (PRO VERSION REQUIRED) Student activity: Post a video of the changes you made. Comment on two other learners' videos. Class three: Teacher demonstration: Principles of Animation Student activity: Post a video of the changes you made. Comment on two other learners' videos. Class four: Teacher demonstration: Titles and credits, other specialty frames, and more editing (PRO VERSION REQUIRED) Student activity: Add titles and credits and other specialty frames. Post a video of the changes you made. Comment on two other learners' videos. No background knowledge is required. This is a flexible schedule course with zero live meetings. However, the teacher will be available to answer all questions in the classroom.
