As I’ve said earlier, I took a class on making flip book movies (stop-action). I had to do a project as homework. Rather than doing it on my own, I worked with my nephews to create some movies. Here they are:

These are videos done by the six year old twins. I pulled in the pics, and added sound, but the kids set up the pictures and made the choices on sound. The second video by Aaron is very impressive because of the detail of movement.
Here is the video done by their older brother:

I’m proud of there work, and now I know you can do some form of this even with six year olds.

Alice – These are great! It’s a wonderful idea to make a movie from still pictures. I really like. What editing program did you use to put it all together?

Nice work
Patience is always the key to these projects, I find, and the hardest thing to instill in young moviemakers.

The strange part is the squirreliest of the kids did the most detailed movement (the Noah’s Ark movie). I NEVER would have predicted that. So, if they are motivated (and he was after seeing his big brother’s video) they will show incredible patience. All-in-all these took about 10-15 minutes each to film.

Loved the videos! Curious to know if you have a good link for stop action movies.
