First of all, you decide on how you want to create your characters and scenarios, whether it be with toys, objects, paper and paint or living things (like cats or humans if they are willing).  Making your story come alive is the focus, not the technology needed to do it.

At the same time, we use celphone cameras, webcams or video cameras with computers to record the scenes.

We try to use equipment that students will have access to after the course.

The P L A Y M A T I O N™ software used to make stop-frame animations is developed and lovingly tweaked by us to suit our students.

It is available for purchase so that you can explore further on your own.

There is an option for students to work with us to modify software to suits their needs.
