I put the marks on the edge so you can see them. That way the kids know just how much to move the object each time. In my college class we did some problem solving on different ways to make the wheels that turn. Became pretty creative, we also discovered that the little plastic microwave turntables are cheap and work great.<br />

The <i>iStopmotion</i> has some excellent examples and good instructions.<br />

Good luck and I would love to show some of you student projects with my college class sometime. Claymation projects are quite…tag:www.classroom20.com,2007-04-28:649749:Comment:87962007-04-28T17:37:50.710ZSharon Bettshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/sharonbetts
Claymation projects are quite big with elementary and middle school students here in Maine. Many use camcorders to get the short videos and then iMovie, Movie Maker or a purchased product - Avid Cinema, Macromedia etc.<br />
<br />
Here are some reference links that I have used:<br />

My high school classes have done several of these over the years. I won't send the latest one, as the subject matter may be too adult for younger students - an extra-marital affair involving Lego people, if you can believe it! Tastefully, and hilariously, done by a 12th grader. Although we use Adobe Premiere, I don't think the software is essential to the success of the project. What continues to surprise students, in spite of my warnings, is how many photos are needed for a very short video.…
My high school classes have done several of these over the years. I won't send the latest one, as the subject matter may be too adult for younger students - an extra-marital affair involving Lego people, if you can believe it! Tastefully, and hilariously, done by a 12th grader. Although we use Adobe Premiere, I don't think the software is essential to the success of the project. What continues to surprise students, in spite of my warnings, is how many photos are needed for a very short video. They quickly learn how to make each frame count; by running the video backwards, a group of photos can be used more than once.<br />
If you haven't done so already, let me suggest signing up for Jake Ludington's free newsletters (Jake Ludington's Media Blab)- go to jakeludington.com to register. Some of his recent topics have included creating video titles from still images and adding i-Tunes music to Windows Movie Maker projects. Kevin - thanks for sharing.

Hi Connie,<br />
I attached one of the claymation movies my kids did. We used digital photos and iMovie. It gets a little violent at the end - 8th graders - sorry about that.<br />

What a fantastic set of references and comments--<br />
Thanks to one and all for the resources. My class is compiling all the suggestions, as a bookmark folder for exploration and experimentation. We feel rich, wealthy, well-stocked with excellent ideas. This is bliss!<br />
Right now we're moving ahead with iMovie. I also bought "Frames" to try. If anyone has used that, comments would be appreciated.

I'll second the vote for StopMotion Animator. We've used it to make animations using little Lego people and it's not bad at all. When you consider it's free, it's even better.

I've done a bunch of claymation projects with my students using just photos and iMovie. It is defitiely workable. The kids use empty cardboard boxes for their set, which they decorate. They use fishing line (sometimes) to manipulate their figures. I guess there is better software for this out there, but iMovie works for us. I don't have any examples at home, but I'll attach one tomorrow when I get to school.
