![]() ![]() You can download a pdf version of the story board here. We started off with very simple ideas, keeping them short and not using many pieces so we could keep track of everything I also created a very simple story board so we could organise our stories before we tried to animate them. ![]() You can download a pdf version of the paper shapes here. I loved the simplicity of the paper pieces we played with at ACMI so I created a set of simple shapes and printed a sheet for each of us to cut out. This turned out to be a really fun and pretty easy way to make a simple animation – here’s how we did it. So this time I dug out our old tripod and we used my DLSR to take lots of single images that we combined into an animation after downloading them to the computer. It’s great fun and really easy for the kids to use, but we struggle to set up the ipad in some kind of stand so it can take clear pictures and not move between each frame. ![]() We’ve played with making our own stop motion animation a little bit using an ipad app called iMotion HD. It was really cool so we were keen to play around with the idea more at home. ![]() They even got to use the fancy digital drawing tablets the ‘real animators’ use and have a go at making a short digital animation.ĪCMI has lots of fabulous free exhibits too and when we were there they were running a drop in session where the kids could have a go making stop motion animation with little paper shapes. We were given passes to see the Dreamworks Exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image these holidays and the kids loved finding out how some of their favourite movies were made and playing around with some of the hands on exhibits. And the boys… well they just love watching all the cool movies their sisters are obsessed with. Izzy is going to be a director when she grows up and Zoe is going to be an actor, or an anime/manga artist. It is Izzy’s goal in life to watch ever Tim Burton film ever made, and Zoe is slowly reading every book that has been made into an animation by Hayao Miyazaki. My kids are a little bit movie and animation crazy at the moment. ![]()
