Stop Motion animation using osnap
Each student group needs to create ONE video (as a group). Decide together what the movie will be about it. Keep in mind that this project will take more than one class period and therefore it needs to be of something that you can control. For example, your hands basically remain the same but you change clothing daily. So unless you want to keep the same clothing at school, keep your bodies out of the shot and use inanimate objects.
Start taking photographs as soon as possible. Video must haves: - moving objects or people - movie needs to be minimum of 30 seconds long - all group members need to participate in the creation |

The Basics:
You’re probably familiar with the basics of stop motion animation. Stop motion, in its most basic form, is comprised of just a few steps. Take a picture of an object, move the object slightly and take another picture, move the object slightly and take another picture and repeat the process. Make sure to keep the photos in the same sequence you shot them in and let each photo show for only a fraction of a second (think approximately 3 frames, i.e. 10 frames per second) so that the motion looks fluid. Add some music and/or sound effects in the background and voila! You’ve got your stop motion animation!
Getting More Advanced:
Of course, it’s not always as simple as it sounds. Depending on the length of your video you’ll probably have to take a lot of photos. Think about it—if you’re planning to shoot a 1-minute clip at 10 frames per second you’ll need 600 photos and you’ll want to spend the time setting up each and every shot to make sure you don’t knock the camera, move an item out of place or break the fluid nature of your shot. Then you’ve got all the post-production work—editing your photos, adding sounds, music and effects.
