Students researched animators and wrote their biographies. They went through a process to get to their published piece. They needed to ask questions about their animator and find the answers through research. They wrote rough drafts, revised, edited and published their final pieces in a book called, The Animators.

From here, students were placed into groups to develop their own animated movies using stop-action filming. Students decided which group they would be in based on their animator’s main technique. The types of animations used in these amateur films are: puppet, clay, model and cut-out.

We hope you enjoy!
