Stop-Motion Animation with an iPod Touch / iPhone

• Objects Used in Your Video

All of the props and vehicles that I include in my videos are built out of Legos, however, clay/play-dough is also a good material. If you need ideas, there are plenty of animated videos on YouTube.

• Stand for Your iPod/iPhone

If you have a stand for an iPod touch like I do, defiantly use that. If not, you can use blobs of clay to support it.

You could use an iPad but it is easier to use an iPhone or iPod Touch if you have one. If you use an iPod Touch, you will need to have a 4^th generation because (as of March 29, 2012), none of the other generations have cameras. If you don't have any of those, i know that there are many computer programs you can use to create stop motion animation.

This is the application that we will use to create the video. Search for "Frame x Frame" in the app store.

This is the video editor that you can use to assemble the different sections of your video, add different effects and transitions, and add titles. Search for "Splice" in the app store

 

• iMovie <(Optional)> ($4.99)

If you are willing to spent 5 dollars, iMovie is a great video editor that works faster than Splice. 

 

If you have another video editing application or computer program that you like to use, feel free to use that too. The iMovie that comes installed on Macs works great.
