Good afternoon P7.

You should now hopefully have your story planned out on your storyboard – I’ve seen one or two posted on E-portfolios and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished version.

I tried the Stop Motion app last night and it seems quite straight forward – if old Mr McGurn can use it the I’m sure you can.

Follow your storyboard taking multiple pictures moving your characters a little bit after each photo. You will need many photos for each scene of your storyboard.  After taking ALL the pictures, you can record the soundtrack – putting in voices and sound effects.  The app is free and you only need to use the free features – DO NOT buy any of the in-app purchases, you don’t need them!

Or if you are used to using another app then that is fine too.

Before filming you might want to watch this:

Nick Park is the writer and director of Wallace and Gromit and here they explain how to do stop motion animation.

When you are finished, export your video to your camera roll/photos app and upload to the Teams Posts section.  I am really looking forward to seeing your creativity.

If you finish then your treat is to watch some more Wallace and Gromit here:

or if you are lucky enough to have access to Netflix – the Feature Length Wallace and Gromit films are on there.

Have a great afternoon!
