Stop Motion Animation

                    

At Thoreau School we have access to equipment for making stop-motion animations.
We use software called HUE Animation on Macbooks along with iCreate cameras.
We also use an app called MyCreate on the iPads, which have a built-in camera.

Students:  Go to Camera > Settings to choose a different camera within the HUE software.
If you have trouble switching cameras, unplug the camera, replug the camera, and try again.

Check out the links below for helpful animation tips.  Terrific for any animation project, not just Legos.
