Stop Motion Animation
You will create at minimum a 4 second stop-motion animation using various objects of your choice. The animation will be shot using a digital camera and put together with a video editing software (like iMovie).
Each photo equals 2/60 of a second therefore 30 photos of slight movement will be 1 second. To create 4 seconds you will need 120 photographs.
Preparation: Theme (no violence or crude subject matter), brainstorm options and objects needed, make a plan (story board), gather what you require (objects, props, characters).
Photographing: Shoot in landscape, should use a tripod, one photo per slight movement.
Animating: Arrange objects for each slight movement - creates illusion of movement.
Computer: Using a video editing software - arrange photos in order of action and add appropriate music/sound effects.
Examples:
flip book
The Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton)
Wallace and Gromit shorts (Nick Park) (The Curse of the Were-Rabbit)
