Stop Motion

We have a big project coming up next week, and are in need of at least four volunteers to help groups and work a camera. Our class is busy planning and storyboarding five different stop motion animation stories. They are really into their plans, and should be ready to roll come next Wednesday. If you can come in and help us out, please let me know right away. The details are below. The timing would be to start at 10:20, and go until 12:00.

Your responsibility would be to help guid a group, and basically be in charge of the camera each group is using. Explicit instructions will be given at the start of the session for all involved.

Let me know right away.

Some more details are below.

Regards, Ray

Students have been thinking of where the cameras should be set up and if they want to change angles as they go along. Will they be filming with the camera pointing down? On a tripod? Close ups?

Is there a simple problem that is getting solved?

What props and backdrops do they need to prepare?

Storyboards will be like an instruction sheet for filming. They should have a clear idea of the movements and the pictures they will be taking, but some interpretation or guidance may be needed.
