Skyview Elementary School First Animation

Tuesday, October 28th., 2014 at 9 in the morning at the Skyview Elementary School in Orange, California 12 elementary students ages 8 to 12 are introduced to animation in the form of stop motion.

In just 3 hours using a down shooter stop motion animation rig, originally created for the 2007 ASIFA-Hollywood Stop Mo Expo, these students revel in the most pure from of animated creative play.

Here is their first ever animation all raw and primal and complete with over enthusiastic camera shakes. Every student is their own director. Their collaborations are free flowing and spontaneous. Their storytelling is the pure storytelling of kids and toys on the playground.

This is magic:
