P1-3 Stop Motion Animation Workshop

P1-3 had a great session learning about stop motion animation with John McGill.

First they used Pivot Stickfigure software to make a stick man on the screen move.

They then moved on to use ZU3D software and a webcam to capture multiple images of a figure they had made from OGO BUILD BITS and they were able to play back their videos.

Children also learned how animators use characters with an internal skeleton that supports intricate movements, as little movements are essential for fluid animations.
