Stop Motion Animation Class, Oct 2013

October, 2013  -  I taught Stop-Motion Animation Class at the Plymouth Arts Council and it was a Blast!

We filmed on several iPad 2's using the (free!) app iMotionHD 
Over four, two hour sessions in October we learned the basics of animation, timing and the software. Starting with clay and clay figures we began making our films. In the 3rd class we began making wire armatures for stop motion puppets. 

Each student created several claymation films and armature turnarounds. They can be viewed Here in their YouTube Playlist.

During our classes - I also was creating a time lapse film using the same iPad app. 

Parent and Artist, John Bleau sketched our Armature making process. Check out his Blog, Here.
