The 2019 Educational Film Festival
Stop Action Animation
Stop Action Animation is a technique used in animation to bring static objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the objects in small movements while filming a frame per movement.
When all the frames are played in sequence, the object comes to life.
Clay figures, puppets and miniatures are often used in stop motion animation as they can be handled and repositioned easily.
EDUCATORS: Here is your chance to let your students teach others! WVIA and Box Of Light are hosting an Educational Animation Festival. When your students submit an animation that teaches a math, science or social studies concept, they might just win a Box Of Light assembly or Animation Workshop for their school.
Winning entries will be posted to this site.
