Beginner Level
Get your child started on Stop Motion Animation with our beginner class! Learn about Stop Motion, storyboarding, and set essentials. Practice using materials brought to class, covering frames per second, timers, sound, voice, and effects. Leave with the knowledge to create your own videos If you want a more in-depth course, I suggest taking the 3-Day Class called Stop Motion Animation for Beginners (3 Days) or the 4-Day Camp. PLEASE NOTE: ** Students will need the Stop Motion Studio Pro App INSTALLED before class. ** The paid version has more features. ** If you choose to have the free version, your child will learn about the other options available, but they will not use them in the free version. ** We will not cover all the settings in the app (ex., green screen or more advanced editing). ** These skills are covered in the longer 3-day class or the 4-day class. ** It is also essential to have a second device to create their video and still participate easily in the class. **NOTE: This class will cover several aspects of the app. We move through a little fast to cover the basics in the 50-minute class. If you want more in-depth you can take the 3 or 4-day class that moves a bit slower and goes in-depth with all the features. There is also a 5-Day Stop Motion Camp that is available. Students will need to have the Stop Motion Animation Studio Pro version of the app. The app can be found listed in the class resources. This app does cost extra. Prices as of 7/17/23: iPad & iPhone $5.99 USD Mac $9.99 USD Android $5.99 USD Windows $9.99 Amazon $5.99 USD Class is taught by a licensed teacher with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education with more than 13 years of experience teaching children in a school setting. I hold a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, emphasizing STEAM and Online Teaching and Learning Certification.
