Have you ever wanted to make your own claymation? In this lesson I will teach you how to make claymation using just a digital still camera and iMovie. (If you have a PC you can use Monkey Jam instead of iMovie)
We will make a 10-second animation about a penguin. We'll start by creating a simple story, then build our characters, set up our scene, shoot it, and assemble in iMovie.

Really cool lesson taught step-by-step. I thought it may be tricky, but Jeanne does a great job in this well-organized lesson. I watched this lesson at a library and laughed out loud when the penguin was making his glorious ascent!

I thought I was going to have to sign up for a class to learn how to teach claymation to my students but Jeanne provided a crash course right here. I think that this video would appeal to all ages. Jeanne is a very good teacher. I really enjoyed the way that she made the character of the penguin come to life in only ten seconds of footage.
I appologize for the digital blip at the begining, my original file doesn't look like that. I'm in the process of trying to fix this. But, the good news is this is the only blip in the video.
