 | Research and Planning
 | Story board is very important
|
|
| Making the Characters
| Need clay with
Plasticine so that it never hardens ( do not use playdough) |
| Pipe cleaners, Styrofoam balls, miscellaneous stuff
(have parents clean out closets.) |
| Put clay on top of a armature (structure made with
pipe cleaners and Styrofoam.)
| Very thin layer of clay to wrap around structure.
(especially head.) |
| Bulk character up with tin foil. Clay will also
stick to foil.
| Look for mini foil sheets |
|
| Cut Styrofoam balls in half, they make good feet. |
|
|
| The setting
| Old calendars make wonderful backgrounds |
| Use cardboard from boxes, etc for a set that will
stand up.
| Pizza boxes work great for this too. |
| Shoe boxes are great for storing kids characters
and stuff while not in class. |
|
|
| Taking pictures
| Set camera to a resolution size that is not too
large (640x480)
| Note on Sony Mavica: Multiple disks write over
previous pictures. Set your camera to SERIES. This will allow picture
names to increase. |
