7. Benefits for Teachers
• For Teachers
• The better part of stop-motion animation projects is that the students really need
each other to complete a quality project quickly! In a team of four students each
has a vital role.
• One person serves as the project manager, or director of the project. The director
focuses on the end product and directs the team as the process of animating
progresses. Another team member needs to take technical control of the software
during animation. They must be fully versed with how the software works in order
to capture images and maintain the program animation timeline on PC
throughout. The other two members of a group are involved in moving characters
and props in order to create the animated sequences. It takes everyone in the
group playing their parts to be successful.
