Stop motion intimidates most people—it feels like you need a studio. This class dismantles that myth: everything you need is already in your pocket. The instructor shows you how to set up a minimal workspace with quick lighting and backdrops, then walks through a free stop-motion app with multiple animation methods. You'll learn the efficiency tricks that matter—how to animate without wasting materials or time. The class pairs technical know-how (what the app actually does) with creative mindset (planning before you shoot). By the end, you've got a shareable animation instead of a spreadsheet of failed attempts.
In this class I’m going to show everything you need to know to start making some fun, stop motion animations right on your smartphone! I’ll show you how to set up your workspace with quick lighting and backdrops. Then we’ll jump into my favorite free stop motion app and animate using a few different methods. Along the way, you’ll learn some tips and tricks to animate efficiently.
Stop motion is a lot of fun and easier than you might think. With a little bit of planning and practice you can start making animations to share with friends.
So go grab all your inanimate objects and let’s animate!
