Feb 20 - Some Stop Motion Tips
Frame capture Advice
You can get very good results with 15 frames per second. If you really want smooth results than you can try 20 frames per second.
Capture 12 to 15 frames when introducing or opening a scene before your characters animate or move. This is sometimes called setting the scene. But also remember 15 frames is only 1 second at 15 fps. So it will pass very quickly.
Its normal to capture one frame per movement but you can experiment with two frames if you wish.
A pause usually lasts a half a second ..so that means seven to eight frames for example between characters talking back and forth to each other.
When you want to make your character blink just take 3 frames with the eye closed (at 15 fps )
To finish out a scene take twelve to fifteen frames.
Remember that all movements must be small so the animation is smooth and flowing
Review your movie as you go along. Some software has a loop function which can be useful. Also remember to save your movie regularly or better still use an auto save function if your software has it.

Feb 18 - Stop Motion Assignment
Requirements (RUBRIC)
- Length minimum of 2 minutes.
- Creative storyline with high school appropriate content only.
- Creative use of props and background set.
- Background music.
- Synchronized sound effects and/or voice over dialog.
- Titles.
First Step: Treatment & Storyboard
Choose the type of Stop Motion medium you will use –actors, clay, legos, other props
1. Write a story treatment.
A story treatment is a one-paragraph description of the basic storyline of your animation. Remember, a good story includes a protagonist, antagonist, conflict/obstacle/problem, a solution to the problem and a climax.
2. Create a storyboard.
Remember you storyboard must include:
The title frames (opening and closing).
The framing of the shot (Close-up, Long-Shot, Medium-Shot, etc)
The frame transitions (Zoom, Pan, Fade-in, Fade-out).
In the text area, describe what is happening in the shot.
Describe audio (music or voice overs).
Look at this Sample Storyboard.
Here is a copy of the Storyboard Template to sketch your frames.
You must have a minimum of 3 pages of storyboards (24 frames).
Evaluation
Your final project will be assessed on both technical and creative ability:
- Is your frame rate correct? You will know this because your animation will be smooth and not choppy – think 12 pictures for every second of animation!
- Are your sound effects and music right for your animation? You will know this because the two will flow together – music is supposed to support your animation no compete with it
- Have you filled your frame with only what is important to your animation?
- Have you created an appropriate set or environment for your animation?
- Have you edited your images using photoshop to remove anything that is unwanted such as hands?
- Do you have a story? Is there something that brings the viewer from the beginning to the end of your animation?
- Are your images in the right sequence?
- Are your images in focus?

Sept 10 - Photoshop
This assignment is your chance to play with photoshop and show me what you know.
For those of you with more photoshop experience your task is to find a landscape picture and turn it into something new. See this photoshop contest on this website for an example: (they took a picture of a Scottish rock formation and turned it into a new picture).
For those of you with limited photoshop experience your task is to play around with some of the tools and functions in photoshop. I want you to play around and get a better understanding of what photoshop can do. Take a look at the tutorials on this website and start with the one that seems to be at the level that you are at.
