Learn all of the basics of the stop-frame animation process and create your very own animated video. This course covers the concept of animation, the technique of stop-frame, utilizing 2-D and 3-D objects, how to create scenes and stories, and recording/editing sound into your animations. Leave this course with an understanding of stop-frame animation techniques and process along with your very own completed short animation.

  • Stop Motion Studio App must be downloaded to your phone. Purchase the $5 complete version you have more tools to work with. Students need a phone or tablet to use the Stop Motion Studio app for shooting/animating and doing sound. Phone/tablet tripods are strongly recommended. An alternative would be to makeshift a tripod using books or canned goods to support a phone/tablet.

Metz, Evie

Evie Metz is an award-winning animator, photographer, and interdisciplinary artist. Her creative practice explores the cycle of life and the values of human beings.

Her introduction at an early age to photography was through a darkroom. That one-of-a-kind magic inspires her more experimental and expressive approach to making pictures and engaging the world around her. She also specializes in fabricating puppets and miniatures for the worlds she handcrafts and brings to life through stop-motion animation.

Her passion for teaching manifests in encouraging people to be their authentic selves while discovering their creative vision. By providing confidence with tools, techniques, and skills for professional execution, she seeks to cultivate a supportive community that begins in the classroom and continues on afterward.
