Yesterday saw our first ever Enrichment Afternoon in school. The children were divided into vertical groups for an extra-curricular extravaganza! Sounds fun right?
The Plan
I signed myself up to do some stop-motion animation (a daunting task in just two hours!) Planning was the easy part, watch a story start clip about toys that come to life and film the ending. Our only issue would be time,so you can imagine my reaction when, 24 hours before the event, we were told we'd actually only have an hour and a half!
Resources
We used TuffCams to take the stills and the children brought in toys from home to be the stars of the show. The stills were quickly pieced together using MonkeyJam and then the finer detail was added using Textease Movies.
Result!
Despite everything, I was extremely happy with the outcomes. The children had fun, learnt some new skills and the product was fantastic! Only a child could come up with Wildmutt climbing a rope up the side of the photocopier. Time restrictions meant there was no time to watch the full movie back from the beginning but hopefully the children will share their first attempts at film making in classes on Monday!
