Did you know that if you wanted to make a long stop motion it would take about 60,000 photos or more? If you want to make a short stop motion don’t worry it will only take 250 photos or less.
A stop motion is when you make a video with digital photos but not just any digital photos.
Moving on to the things you will need: Tripod, digital camera, and video editing software on your computer like video spin, imovie or windows movie maker.
First you set a plan of what you’re going to do then get your gear. Put your digital camera on the tripod. This is an example of what you could do. Tell someone to go out on the field and tell them to stand by the camera and what you have to do is stand on the field like a soldier and take 1 step then the person by the camera has to take a photo and take another step and the cameraman has to take a photo and keep on doing that about ten times. Then what you have to do is take your camera to your computer and plug your camera USB plug into the USB part on your computer then get your photos and put in video editing software like video spin, windows movie maker, imovie. Open one of those and it should say browse images then choose the photos you took and select them and click play and see how it goes if you don’t like it make it shorter or longer and add some sound affects. enjoy making your stop motion.

Stop motion Animation

As a class room15 made a stop motion. We used a digital camera and a tripod so the photos we would take would be still we took a photo every time we took a step
and then it looked like we were slipping throw the grass.I have learnt that stop motion is a really creative thing. What I have felt about this topic is it is really cool the hard part was that you have to take heaps of photos the easy part is that after you took the photos you just put them in video spin and enjoy and watch.
