For my stop-motion video, I decided to work with a friend teaching her how to use stop-motion studio app and how to use puppets to create a video. One person propped up the iPhone and took the photos. The other person slowly moved the props to create a video. Below are screen shots of the editing portion of the project where I added themes, sounds, and title page and credits. It was an interesting learning experience on how to teach stop motion. Editing can be done with the app or can be exported to iMovie to add sound and other effects. It does cost to use most of the tools on the app. Next time, I would upload the video to another platform to do the editing. Also something we realized is the app is a landscape format only, even though you can take photographs in portrait mode. Each image
This is an image of the main face of the app. The places to edit and tools are shown on the sides. You can also edit the photos by selecting each one and editing.
This is where you can create a theme and outline for the title page and credits. If you scroll down, you can change the color of the images and add wordart to the film.
Below is where you can add music and sound effects. If you do it on iMovie, you have more options for effects.
Using this movable puppet was genius! What a great way to introduce stop motion to students. I think it could be really successful to use with younger kids. The ability of the doll to hold each position takes out the tediousness making it more user friendly for little learners. I would be curious to see how this would go over in a younger elementary school classroom. I have a feeling they would come up with some truly creative scenarios that could be facilitated by the teacher to create a group stop motion animation.
