Task: In pairs you are to design & create a clay animation (Claymation) on windows movie maker.
Section 1: Designing & Planning (Visual Arts & Design & Technology)
1.

Clay Model

Design at least one simple character to create out of modelling clay. Simple is often best. Use different colours of clay.

Your model must have some parts that can be moved, and must be able to keep its shape. Describe what you will use for this, and
how your character will move.

You must draw a coloured diagram showing what your model will be like.

2.

Storyboard

Create a storyboard showing a VERY SIMPLE sequence of images and words to show what will happen in your animated story.

3.

Setting

Design and draw a suitable setting for your story to take place.
Think about what you will use for each part of the setting. (eg. Drawing or picture for backdrop, dolls furniture, leggo, material etc.)
You can create your setting and set up your model in a photocopy paper box.

Section 2: Making (Visual Arts & Design & Technology)

Make your clay model, adjusting parts as needed

Make your setting, adjusting things as needed. Make sure that you use the tools and equipment correctly and safely.

Section 3: Clay animation (Media & Digital Technologies)

Set your characters up in your setting.

Work out the best place for effective photos (best lighting)
Set up your ipad in ONE position for each scene.
Take photos, moving your character a tiny bit at a time for each photo, so that the movement appears smooth.
You will need around 20 photos for one second of movement.
When finished upload all of your photos onto your computer, then copy them into windows movie maker.
You will need to select the photos and use movie maker to edit. i.e. change the speed of each photo to around 0.8 per second, add
sound, transitions (if needed) and credits.
Save your movie

Section 4: Evaluation (Arts & Digital Technologies)

You are to individually evaluate your own clay model, setting and animation, by filling out the student evaluation section of this task sheet.
