Stop Motion: Color Mixing Monsters

Explore the color wheel through creating your own stop motion animation using the iPad app MyCreate. Your challenge:

•   Choose 2 primary colors balls of model magic. •   Design a monster out of each, including googley eyes. •   Position your monsters on the set to begin. •   Stop motion process:

o   Take one starting photo. o   Move monsters just a little bit closer to each other. o   Take one photo. o   Move monsters just a little bit closer to each other. o   Take one photo. o   Do this until the monsters reach: then slowly mix them together

just a tiny bit each photo (make sure to take away their googley eyes so the eyes don’t go inside of them) until they become a secondary color.

o   Add new googley eyes to your new monster and take a bunch of photos of your new monster dancing!

TIP: feel free to move their arms, head, bodies one movement at a time throughout the process to make them more “alive”.
