Create and Animate - Stop Motion Animation Unit

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at animation? Stop Motion is a fun and easy way to introduce video production to your class, in any subject!

This unit includes almost everything you need to teach your students how to make stop motion animation. All you need to do add is the technology, bricks, clay, playdough, paper, candy, etc! Stop Motion animation can be created using a variety of medium. One of my student groups last year made a movie about cupcakes and another group this year made one about an apple.

Check out the movies made at these playlist links on YouTube:
