You have learned to use the software, you have practiced a variety of stop motion animations, last week you brainstormed and story-boarded a brief animation.
Today you will produce the storyboard. Create the scenes, characters, and scenes from your storyboard and save it as a movie.

Scripts and Storyboards
Scripts and Storyboards
A script and a storyboard are great way to plan animation. Visualize the animation before you film it.
Use Stop Motion Pro to film storyboards to get an idea of story timing.
We will consider a short animation idea as small groups. This could consist of a small part of a longer production you are contemplating, or a simple idea in itself.
Some themes for stories could include...
The dog that danced for his dinner
The crazy car chase
The aliens that ask the astronauts for directions
The child trying to get a slice of cake from a high bench
An elephant that thinks she might like to be a chicken
It is important that you BRAINSTORM FIRST!!! Write down at least 5 ideas
First try to flesh out what happens in the story in a written form, maybe a paragraph or 2.
Try to come up with an idea that requires no dialogue to explain what is happening. Try to focus on visual story telling.
Once you have an outline of the story, it is time to show visually through
drawings what is happening. This process is called storyboarding and is used for live action films and animations.
There are several ways to present a storyboard. Take a look at the following examples...

You should produce completed storyboards either individually or in groups.
Go for for original concepts or ideas!
