Sculpture and
Stop Motion Animation
What is 'Stop Motion Animation'?
Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back. Any kind of object can thus be animated, but puppets with movable joints (puppet animation) or plasticine figures (clay animation or claymation) are most commonly used. Some famous films using Stop Motion Animation techniques include Wallace and Gromit, Early Man and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
There are three different stop motion activities. Follow the instructions to create you're sculpture and then submit some photos at the end to show your finished creation.
Activity 1: Egg Box Mouse
Activity 2: Pasta Fossil Fish
Activity 3: Toilet Roll Pirate Ship
