This class builds on the basic stop motion foundations of the Lego Stop Motion I class.  In this 30-week, hands-on class, students will dive deeper into set-building, story, and character development. Students will also learn special effects, lighting, and camera techniques to create longer-form projects.  Open to students in grades 4-12 with previous Lego stop-motion experience (MYOM graduates are encouraged to enroll). Some Lego minifigs will be supplied, and students are encouraged to bring their own (sanitized).

Materials needed:

• Apple or Android smartphone (preferred), Tablet is OK

• Animation software (Stop Motion Studio - $5)

• Minifigs from home (sanitized)

• Tripod for home use (can be made of Lego)
