Introduction
With the goal of improving the understanding of digital tools used in different activities, we use images (namely, screenshots), that are property of the owners of these tools.
In this activity, you’ll learn how to idealize, plan, make and edit an animation video in Stop Motion. You’ll be able to create an animated story using plasticine and graphic elements, and a tablet or smartphone for the final edit.
Through the creation of collaborative narratives, this activity aims to stimulate and develop creative thinking.
