Building with the Force: A StopMotion Animation

At our amazing MDTA Day today we learnt about StopMotion animation using lot of pictures to create an animation. This was a fun process and although my characters kept falling over I think my movie still turned out alright.

Our movie focus was to create an animation to motivate or inspire our learners. I choose to use the Star Wars characters that I had on hand to create an animation with a building and collaboration focus. I will use to animation at the beginning of an up and coming collaborative creative art lesson to remind learners what they can achieve when they work together. I hope you enjoy the movie.

  

StopMotion animation is an awesome skill and would be really fun to do with my learners. It would be great to create some StopMotion animations of the creation of buildings to link in with our art theme or Architecture.

  1. Cool idea Clarelle, awesome to see you thought about how your creation can tie into future units. One piece of feedback, would be to maybe repeat the photos, to lengthen the animation a little. I was super engaged and then it was over!

    1. Thank you Georgia I am glad you enjoyed it. I had trouble getting more shots as my people kept falling over. I will try and make future StopMotion Animations longer :)

  2. Great video here Clarelle and I really think your learners will get inspired by this for the unit you're doing, especially with the use of the Star Wars figures! Will be keen to see how it works in your class - nice work with the voices too, you do an impressive Yoda impersonation :)
