Stop Motion Animation in the Classroom
Stop motion is an animation technique which makes static objects appear to move. It is central to the clay animation technique used on popular children's shows such as Gumby and to the puppet-based animation of such well-known films as (Tim Burton's) The Nightmare Before Christmas (Henry Selick, 1993), Chicken Run (DreamWorks/Aardman Animations, 2000) Corpse Bride (Tim Burton, 2005), and all of the Wallace And Gromit films.

The DSLR section is designed to illustrate the work my advanced animation students are doing with our Canon T3 DSLR camera that was recently donated. We are using Dragon Frame software to produce a short animated film.
The iPad section is designed to illustrate the work my intro animation students are doing with our new classroom set of iPads. We are having a blast learning about the stop motion animation and the principles of animation. We are currently working on STEM related project and will post them soon.
