Ever since I saw Wallace and Gromit as a Sophomore in college, I have wanted to try my hand at stop-action animation. However, like many things, I have never done anything more than want to try.
Today, Elliot started talking about trying to make a stop-action version of a classic children’s story using Playmobil. He has tried a few times before, but it has always turned into nothing more than just a slide show…so, this afternoon I built a stop-action camera mount prototype to begin experimenting with the kids.
Here are two short tests to see what we might need to do differently for longer pieces. This is the first attempt:
Then the kids did this one almost completely by themselves.
I look forward to seeing what the kids come up with in the months ahead.
Way to go! Nice job! Thumbs up! I liked it.
