How to Make a Stop Motion
We are using a photographic sequence to provide the illusion of movement.
- Smaller steps = smoother motion
- Use a tripod if possible
- Don't stand between light and the scene
- To reduce flicker, use your camera's manual mode
- You will be:
- Taking a series of photos to show a simple action
- Put the image sequence together using a tool of your choice
- Upload the sequence to YouTube, Vimeo... etc
- Add a link to the Canvas discussion
Your animation will need to create a sense of suspense.
