WHAT IS STOP MOTION?
Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A STOP MOTION VIDEO?
(We used a free account with Kapwing, though there is other video-editing software available.)
To make a stop motion video, set up the scene you want to animate in from of a camera in a stable position. Then, make small changes to the scene and snap photos of every new frame.
Once you have all of the images you want to combine into a video, find the Montage Maker on the Kapwing homepage and click "Get Started." Upload all of the images, choose your options, and click "Create" to stitch the images together into a continuous stop motion video.
