DAYS 4-6
—Students cut out letters/words (printed out by you) for final animations.
—Students practice simulation/mock frame-by-frame animations (without camera) to practice final.

DAYS 7-9

    With cell phone tripods, I wonder if this project could be done using students’ cell phones, saving the images into Google Drive and importing them into the Stop Motion Studio?
