Class Experience

In this four-day camp, we will learn more advanced features using the Stop Motion Studio Pro app. These techniques can be used to improve your stop motion movie. Students in this class must have a good understanding of the Stop Motion Studio Pro App. We will learn about advanced features in the app and practice skills including, story creation planning, set creation, lighting, special effects, angles, and path of motion. 

Please note: must have the Stop Motion Studio Pro App  (additional cost) -see the description of the materials for more information.

Day 1:  Develop our storyboards including characters, setting, problems of the story, and important events that need to take place in our stories. Students are encouraged to bring an idea and materials to the class that they want to create a movie about. We will begin developing a story, discuss ideas, and brainstorm ideas as a group. We will begin creating our set using materials that students want to include in their movies. Students should print off the storyboard that is attached to the materials and a pencil.

Day 2: Finish creating and setting up our sets. We will share ideas and discuss them as a group. This will help students get ideas and suggestions from others and the teacher. In this class, we will begin shooting our movies. The goal is to have the set developed and start working through our storyboard plans. We will learn about and discuss angles, lighting, and path to improve our movies.

Day 3: Students will be creating their movies and we will spend 10-15 minutes discussing special effects and improvements that help enhance their movies. Students are encouraged and expected to participate in the class and activities along with the discussion. Students are encouraged to share their ideas and videos. On the last day, we will take more time sharing, discussing, and improving our movies.
