Stop Motions...

I made a few stop motions and I would like to tell people how to make them. You make stop motions with anything, Barbies, lego, pencils, even with food!

1. Set your "actors/actresses' to the way you want it. Then take a picture of them.
    For example....

2. Oh and sorry for the lame and random picture, I know it is kind of creepy but I don't have much time   

    to find or take a good picture. Anyway #2 is move your "thing" and take another picture. (I would 

    write a plan about what you want to happen in your stop motion.) Keep taking pictures until you 

     you have all the pictures you would like. 

     

3. Connect your camera (or device) into a laptop or computer. I have a mac so if you do go to iphoto. 

    Look on the left. You should see different files. If your camera is connecting correctly there should a

    file that says devices. If your camera is in that column click on that and there will be all the pictures 

    that are on your camera. (The most recent pictures are on the bottom) Click on the picture you want 

    to begin with and on your key board press the shift key. Press the right arrow key and keep on 

    pressing until you found the last picture you want to use. Then click on import.

4. Wait until it is done importing. 

     

                                   

5. Go to imovie.

                    

6. Go to the upper bar of your computer and click on "File". Then click on "New Project"

7. On the right hand side you will see a box and above it there will be some icons. Find the camera icon 

    and click on it. Go to "Last Import". To select all the pictures, click on one, then press command A.

    Drag them into the lower box. 

8. Edit your stop motion.

To change how long you want each clip to be: Click on the clip. Then click on the gear. Click on clip adjustments. Check apply to all clips, and type in how long you want each clip to be. (I usually go with 0.3s but if you have a long stop motion I would go with 0.1s) 

You can also add captions, credits, music, and many more. Just have fun making your very on stop motion. 

P.S When you're down go to "Project Library" and find your project and double tap it. A number of choices will pop up and click on export movie. I would export to desktop. Go to youtube and drag the 

movie from your desktop and wait for it to upload.

So that is how you can make your very own stop motion.
