Stop Motion

This week you will create a stop motion film with at least 100 slides that shows us how to do something. Think about what you have nearby. Find something that you know how to do well and show us. Teach us. If you are really good at taking care of plants help us understand your process. If you can play guitar show us how to play.

1.You can only use photos for this assignment. You cannot make this as a timelapse...

How to prepare & Film

Your best work will come from you picking something you already do regularly, like making a really good cup of coffee. Plan out the steps on paper first mapping out what you do for each step. For example 1. Heat up the water in the kettle to 197° 2. pour 1/4 c. coffee beans into a grinder and pulse for 30 sec. 3. place a no. 2, unbleached, cone filter in the pour over dripper (making sure to fold the bottom seam) ... Then you can sketch out the scenes if you choose. Then film.

Make sure to leave your iPad/Camera in the same place the whole time. Make small movements with the objects and then press the camera shutter button. You may neeed help if what you are doing requires you to hold something.
