Back at the Mind Lab to Animate

We are back at the Mindlab today building on the animation skills we used last time. Today our movies are a little bit more sophisticated and we are going to add sound when we get back to school. We will make a sound clip that we will merge with our animation in iMovie.

It was a great opportunity to work creatively and have to work closely with someone in a pair. Teamwork and clear communication were very important. Some if us came with material from home and a plan of the story we wanted to animate.

Being prepared means a quality result and being able to work faster.

Visiting the Mind Lab to learn about Animation

On Tuesday we had  our first session at the Mind Lab. We learned about animation using qstopmotion. This is a free download and is very easy to use. Our tutor was Josh and he talked about making a storyboard. We used props and play dough to make simple story.
