Stop-Action movies

First semester, 8th grade Digital Arts class created stop action animation videos in Windows Movie Maker. They were given a choice to make an object move using 150-400 pictures to show movement. The students shared with me that they learned a great deal from this project. Primarily - PATIENCE! It take a lot of patience to take that many pictures and try to maintain a smooth appearance. They learned that using a tripod or table to steady the camera may have helped them. The following are the student's videos that are complete.
