Animation Worksheet: Stop Motion

Animation and design lesson 5: Stop-motion animation · Set 827 · 40 questions

Creator's tip (Move, snap, repeat): Steps: build the set and models → fix the camera → take one photo → move the model a little → repeat → play the photos fast. Photos = seconds × photos per second; seconds = photos ÷ photos per second. Still camera, steady lamp light, tiny moves, hands out of shot.
