Claymationor Try to Make Your Point Quickly
5 Steps to Clay Stardom • Script • Storyboard • Characters, Props, and Background • Lights, Camera, Action • PowerPoint or MovieMaker
Script • Carefully plan what will be said in your story. • Have students write this out exactly, including directions or ideas for scenes. • This is a great time to talk about reading plays with their stage directions, such as Shakespeare.
Storyboard • A storyboard is a loose drawing of your stories series of scenes. • It is not meant to be a work of art. • Just get your ideas down and work out the details. • Old calendars work well. Each square provides a place to draw each scene. • A blank 6 slide PowerPoint printed in handout view (6 slides to a page) makes a good storyboard.
Characters, Props and Background • Characters do not have to be made with clay. Any small figures will work. • Be creative! Props make it more 3 dimensional. • Backgrounds can be made quickly using file folders and old calendars.
Lights, Camera, Action • Once everything is set-up, you are ready to take your pictures. • Follow your storyboard as you read the script. • At least one picture per second
PowerPoint or Movie Maker • Choose one to use as your animator. • In PowerPoint make a new photo album and rehearse timings to make them only show for a second or less • In Movie Maker go to Tools>Options>Advanced • Set timings to 0.125.
