Stop Motion Videos

Another fun and creative way that the kindergartens have been experimenting with colour mixing is with the Stop Motion App.  It is a free app to download, and it is very easy to use.



To get our imaginations going, we watched a few different stop motion videos and our interests were peaked.  Everyone thought it was so cool how the play dough moved, but we couldn't see anyone's hand do the moving.  Some ideas we had of how this happened was that is was "magic" or that the pieces were "magnetic," an invisible hand, or done by a computer.  

Next we set up an iPad and a backdrop.  As a class we practiced moving the play dough pieces a little at a time.  This was a little tricky at first, but everyone got the hang of it.  Then we went to work snapping pictures of every little move.  

Before we made our own videos, we talked about the importance of making a plan. Because we were working with other people, not everyone could do what they wanted. We had to talk to our friends and come up with ideas what would make everyone happy.  





Everyone did a great job working together as a team.  After about 25 minutes, all the pictures were taken and each group had their very own colour mixing stop motion video.




We hope you like watching them as much as we had making them,
