Benefits of Stop Motion Animation

• Offers children ownership and autonomy in the film making process
• Teaches children how stop motion animation works
• Debunks the mechanics of how movie-making happens
• The creative constraint of the medium encourages problem solving
• It’s a simple, hands-on technology that young children can achieve
• Encourages children to project and plan out where a story is heading
• Fosters iteration and experimentation through trying and testing
• Supports storytelling

Method

1. Set up a backdrop. This could be a wall or pice of foam core.
2. Gather toys to include in your animation.
3. Set up your touch pad or smart phone on a stand or tripod, across from the foam core.
4. Start the Stop Motion Animation App and make your movie!
