Stop-motion animation has a long history in Hollywood, from films like King Kong to Coraline, but it can also be a fun and relatively easy weekend art project. Whether you're a hobbyist looking for a creative outlet for yourself or your kids, or a professional who wants to try stop motion, this course will help you create your own short stop-motion films. Rich Harrington shows how to shoot the initial sequences with an iPad, smartphone, or DSLR camera, and then assemble them into a short animated movie using iMovie and the iStopMotion app. He'll also show how to export your final project and get it ready to share or move into a professional or semiprofessional video editing application.

Topics include:

* What is stop motion and how does it work?

* Stop motion vs. time lapse

* Shooting stop motion with a tablet or smartphone

* Lighting your environment

* Directing the animation

* Working with filters and color

* Shooting in reverse
