This year I’d really like to get you all involved in making some animated videos using StopMotion or Claymation. In fact I have ordered some software for you to use in class which should be here soon. In the meantime you might want to check out some animated movies that others have created.
Check out this site - Jon’s Mind I can’t embed the amazing animations but you can download them yourself to watch.
Thanks to Ewan McIntosh for sharing this video. As he says, “it’s as beautiful and enchanting as many of the ‘real’ movies I’ve seen recently.”
I thought I’d share it with you. What do you think? Maybe it will inspire you to write!
I thought you might enjoy this! I hope it’s not blocked at school.
Here is something you just have to watch.
Watch this amazing animation, and wonder!
Thank you to Grumpy Old Teacher for the link.
I found this at Kevin’s Meandering Mind via Paul Wilkinson who has now set up a wiki at animate our world for anyone interested. He is keen to get going a story exchange using Pivot/ students to share their animations.
The other day, one of my sixth graders asked me if I had ever used Pivot for animation, which led to an interesting discussion about how this freeware software could be used with MovieMaker to create a little animated film.
Here, then, is the premiere of The Incredibly Crazy Clocks, using Pivot to create the animation (it comes out as an animated .gif file), then I imported the file into MovieMaker where I added some original music of mine, and a title, and I got a mini-movie.
You will need to download Alice and or Pivot. I think this may be a good way of showing our fractured fairy tales. What do you think?
