We learned how animations are made using a series of still images (pictures) and created our own flipbooks using post-it notes, tracing over the images from the page before, changing one detail a small amount each time. After that, we looked at how stop-motion animations are made using photographs. We were the film stars and had to change our positions ever so slightly in between each frame (photograph captured). What do you think of our animation work so far?
