Step 1: Come up with an idea for your story.  Keep it simple!
Step 2: Make a plan! Create a storyboard.
-Decide what will happen.  
-What will the background look like?  
-What materials or props do you need?
Step 3: Take a few shots at the beginning (and end) of your animation.  Remember to make SMALL movements at one time!  Use your onion skin to see where you left off.
Step 4: You will need at least 8-12 photos to equal 1 second.  Slowly, continue working on your video.
Step 5: Share your work so others can see it!

Let’s start with a simple animation.  Click on the image to download a copy of the monster parts at home. Cut out the parts that you will need to animate a face.
