The Adventures Of Hoohoo And Cat (Scene: 1)

Here's a film that my sister, my Mom, and I made with our felted owl and cat. Hoohoo is the owl and Cat is the cat. 

The cat has a secret. He has a heart on his bottom. 

We used Stop Motion Studio to make this scene. 

This scene took 131 shots and the duration is 26 seconds. 

It took us about 30 minutes to shoot this scene. 

The voices are of me and my sister, Peggy. 

Before we started, my sister made a storyboard. 

A storyboard is where you draw what's going to happen in the film. As the cameraman, a storyboard is helpful because you know what's going to happen, how to pose the figures, and how to film each shot. The storyboard also tells what each character is going to say. This helps me decide how long to make the scene, so I can fit in all the words they need to say.

In stop-motion, after the cameraman takes all the pictures, THAT'S when you add in all the sound. If I didn't leave enough room in the scene for all the talking, the talking would run into the next scene and the whole movie would be off. 

In the first script, our cat, Falkor, was not supposed to be in this scene. But while we were shooting it, he wandered in and we decided to keep it. 

Here it is! I hope you enjoy it!

My Lego Minecraft Movie Intro

This little movie didn't take much time to make because I had assembled the Lego set earlier.

In total, it took 125 photos to do this scene, and it's 30 seconds long. It took me about 20 minutes to pose the figures and take all the photos.

This was the first time I added text to a video.

I'm going to make this movie a lot longer, and I'll share all the new scenes here on this blog.

To make my movie, I used an app for iPad called Stop Motion Studio.

I love using Stop Motion Studio because it has a Gallery where you can watch other people's stop motion movies. The program is pretty easy to understand. I also love that they provide you with backgrounds and filters.

Here's my Lego Minecraft Movie Intro. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome

Welcome to our stop motion blog. We're just beginning to learn stop motion, and we'll share our projects with you. 

My name is Patrick and I am nine years old.

And my name is Amanda and I am thirty-five years old. I am Patrick's mother. We will be writing this blog together as we learn about Stop-Motion techniques.
