Jack and the Beanstalk

made a stop-motion scene

Thursday I’ll be starting a 5-week long afterschool program to teach some fourth graders and their parents how to use iPhoto and iMovie to make their own animations. I wanted to make one before the program started so I spent a good part of today in pre-production (cutting and gluing construction paper pieces), production (taking pictures, moving construction paper pieces, taking pictures, moving construction paper pieces, taking pictures, moving construction paper pieces…………), and post-production (editing!) to make this 45-second gem.

………

Altogether roughly one hour of work for every ten-seconds of footage.

I meeeeeaaaaan…

I enjoyed myself… Sooooooo, hopefully the nine-year-olds will too 😛
