Key Stage 1 Animation Project

This animation project involved pupils from 3 infant schools in Buckinghamshire - Cuddington Church of England School, Haddenham St Mary's Church of England School and Haddenham Infant School.

Four pupils from each school worked together to produce stop frame animation movies, with all work - from initial story board to finished movie - being completed in one school day. Pupils created their own story boards and worked together to animate their stories and take stop frame images on a webcam. These images were then edited using Imagestudio software and saved. The final movies were then imported into Microsoft's Moviemaker software and sound effects added.The completed works are available to view by clicking on the links below.
