This is achieved through manipulation of the physical object/s and a series of photographs.
Start thinking about objects you could use to create meaning within a stop motion animation.]]> 2020-05-07 04:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kylechristie/le0l0kmd7aflp578/wish/556418683 Stop Motion Animation Example kylechristie https://padlet.com/kylechristie/le0l0kmd7aflp578/wish/561917521 Watch the above video for an example of a stop motion animation using everyday objects.
Do some further investigation on examples of stop motion animation and consider the meaning present in each animation and how is that meaning created?

Use your ingenuity to create a holder or mount for your device to ensure it is still for when you are taking your photos.

Think about the composition of your animation and the angle from which your animation will be shown, will it be front-on or overhead?
