Green Screen Stop-Motion Stations

Green Screen Stop-Motion Stations

Button for Roles

Last fall I wrote an ABC/25 Foundation grant through my district for the supplies for Green Screen Stop-Motion Animation Stations. My ideas for what to purchase evolved a bit with more research to include green display board from BLICK and iPad stands from Anker. We will have two stages of production.

Create stop-motion animations of our drawing mannequins with the green backgrounds in iMotion HD
Layer in our figure drawing paintings behind the animation in the Green Screen App by DoInk.

This movie-making experience is an extension project for the 4th graders. They made action figure paintings (download lesson plan from TpT here) which showed movement. Now they will layer this animation over their art to demonstrate this concept digitally. The stages of production are below:

Action Figure Painting

Stop-motion Animation

Layered in G.S. App

Animating, photographing, & directing all while working collaboratively to create

The idea to assign roles with buttons came from Nic Hahn's post here. I thought it would save time to use role descriptions on the buttons so with some production tips. This way there would be less of me talking about roles and and more time for students to create within them. I purchased a fiskar circle cutter and plastic button kits to make these. Here is the PDF I made for the buttons.

I wrote up this lesson plan with all the resources, apps, equipment, and steps needed to complete a stop motion animation using green screen layered over original student art. Make sure that you view the sample video to see how cool this project can be.
