This a a four slide stop motion example I made using Google Slides and the Tall Tweets website (https://talltweets.com) which converted my slides into a gif. If you want to try an introduction slide, click here to make your own.

I had our 4th graders complete this stop motion animation project this past December when we were in a virtual instructional model. They listened and (hopefully) watched a video lesson I posted to our Google Classroom. They then completed the assignment, which was to insert a star onto a tree and make it move to the top. They had to learn how to "draw" the star, fill it with color and then duplicate the slides to create the animation. Some students added additional decorations to their tree. Here are a few examples. I also include one example where the student, clearly, did nothing!

We did this lesson in September of this  school year (2020-2021). Our district was using an hybrid instructional model at the time, so I was seeing  all of my students over the period of four days A handful were virtual students. Those students were given video lessons over Google Classroom.

The task was to create a stop motion animation of a dot traveling across the screen. While it sounds like a simple task, for some students, this was the first time they used Google Slides. So, they were also learning how to do tasks like copy and paste, draw a circle, color fill, drag and drop, set a background, etc. Here are some of the stop motion animations that were created:

Reasons to use Google Slides to Create Stop Motion Videos

1. No extra equipment, cameras, props, or other materials needed to create simple stop motion animation videos. If you have access to a internet connected device and Google slides, you are ready to go!

2. Using Google slides (even at a young age - especially at a young age!), is an excellent way to introduce students to the features of Google slides and gives them a solid foundation of the application which will carry over into other uses.

3. Stop motion animation is cross-curricular. This is technology that can be used in all subject areas to introduce topics, reinforce concepts, assess content, review material, or be a capstone project at the end of a unit. The possibilities of using stop motion animation in your curriculum are endless - limited only by your imagination and creativity.

I found this website which takes your Google slides and converts them to a gif. (I should note I use talltweets.com - classic. They have just launched a new part of the website that works in conjunction with Creator Studio. (See below).

# data[].attributes.body
This is an Add-on in Google Slides. It turns your presentation into a gif or mp4 video. You can select the speed for the animation. (I usually select .9 seconds/slide.)

It's fairly simple to use. but the quality of the gif is not as good as talltweets.com. (Also, you will see recent reviews are stating there are numerous problems with getting the application to load. When I used it this past weekend, I did not encounter any problems, but the color and quality of my final product was "off."

Convert Google Slides to GIF images and MP4 video files. Add background music and voice narration to your exported presentations. Export Google Slides as PNG image sequences, download Speakers Notes from slides. Sync Google Slides with YouTube using Slidecasts

Unlike Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides doesn't offer a native option to save presentations as videos. Creator Studio adds new export capabilities to your Google Slides and you'll be able to download your decks as animated GIFs, image sequences, and HD video (with audio).

Important: Please note that transitions effects, slide animations and embedded audio/video files are not available in the exported video due to limitations of the Google Slides API.

GIF Image

An infinite looping animated GIF image is created that is perfect for sharing inside email messages and blog posts. You can even make stop motion animations by keeping the time interval very low (say 0.2 seconds).

Image Sequence

Creator Studio will capture screenshots of each slide in your presentation and save it as a numbered PNG file in your Google Drive folder. Internally, it uses the Google Slides API to generate these thumbnail images.

MP4 Video

Like the GIF image, Creator Studio will produce an MP4 video file from your deck and you can also vary the time interval between slides.

Video with Audio

You can upload any audio file in MP3 or WAV format and it will play alongside the presentation. You can upload background music or even voice narration that will play in the background while the video is playing.

Speaker Notes

With Creator Studio, you can easily extract Speaker Notes from your Google Slides presentation. Go to the Addons menu inside Google Slides, choose Creator Studio, and select Speaker Notes from the menu.

Slidecasts

With Slidecasts, sync your video lectures on YouTube with PowerPoint presentations hosted on Google Slides. The video and presentation play side-by-side, and slides auto-advances in sync with the video.
