YOU’LL NEED Aardman Animator (Free,aardman.com), iOS 12 or later
One of the most famous creators of stop-motion animation is the award-winning Aardman Animation studio – the creators of beloved characters such as Wallace and Gromit.
Stop-motion animation is the art of snapping a photo, moving your subject by a small increment, then snapping another. After repeating the process, you can run the consecutive still images as a series of video frames to make a movie in which your subject appears to move as if it is a living character!
Aardman has released a free iPhone app – Aardman Animator – that enables you to delight friends, family, and social media followers with your own stop-motion creations. We’ll show you how to put this fun app through its paces.
