Video Animation Stop Motion Grades 3-5

Entry #:

305 Entry Title:

Surfs' UP

Project Description:

Mrs. McCabe showed me how to use a stop motion app and my mom downloaded it at home. I have had fun creating many videos and learning skills to improve. I am sending this video because I enjoyed making this one the most with help from my whole family. We spent an afternoon finding props and organizing our ideas. My brother Cato who is in the 1st grade at Showell is in the video with me and my youngest brother who is not pictured lent me his fish and octopus stuffed animals. My dad taught me the importance of keeping the camera on a tri-pod to make the stop motion video flow better. A family might want to watch this video for ideas for making their own stop motion video. Or someone that loves the beach would like this video. I spent time editing by figuring out how to add music and deciding how many seconds each picture flashed. I used a stop motion app to take this video.
