Stop motion movies
Stop motion is a special type of movie-making. It uses real objects—instead of drawings—to tell a story. The story characters can be people, animals, or even everyday objects. You can make them out of clay (橡皮泥) or just use some small toys.
| YOU WILL NEED *A smart phone or camera that shoots videos *A support with three legs used for the phone or camera *Your imagination and a story to tell *Characters（Use action figures(动态木偶), toys, etc., or make some with clay） *A good place to shoot a movie *Whatever else you need for your story |
Make up a short story. Make sure it has a beginning, middle and end. Then write down your story.Pick a place where you're going to shoot the movie. Make sure you'll have enough room to take pictures.Collect or make the characters you'll need for your movie, then prepare any backdrops (背景幕布) (Even a piece of cloth will work). Set up your first shot (拍摄). Put your characters and props (道具) at the right place for your first scene. Keep your "movie camera" steady (稳定的) and in the same place. Repeat the step above over and over and over until you complete your story. |
