Teaching animation

All the videos are made by children 6-9 years old with a bit of my help.
The process of making videos:
– Creating scripts
Scripts can be based on an existing poem/song, or the unique story.
In this step we learn the basic structure of the scripts like introduction, beginning, middle part, and conclusion. They think about the main idea and how to make it interesting for the audience.
– Story-boarding
The sequence of pictures and different cameras, where we learn the composition of the shots and the whole video.
– Voice recording
Here we study the intonation of the voice, we record few times, listen and discuss to find the best style.
– Photo-shooting
We always need two people for this step. One is moving the objects, one is looking at the camera. And we are learning both of these jobs)
– Video-editing
We are making addition lessons for Photoshop (interchanging the lessons of Animation and Photoshop from the beginning) – to learn the basics of editing photos. Then we use standard windows/mac programs (depends on the equipment we have).
– Final presentation
Here we invite parents, relatives, friends and neighbors to present the video and to hear the compliments)
