re-enact a scene using models or create an

alternate version of a story.

Model Making Tips• Keep your model simple - not too

many colours or details.

• Have large eyes and other features that you can move (like arms and hands).

• Your model must be able to stand up on its own.!

• A model of a person should be about 7-10 cm tall.

Making Your Scenery• Keep your scenery simple.

• Keep the main details near the bottom of the page. You may not see all of your background when you film.

• Letter sized paper works well.!

• You may want to make the ground or floor that your models will stand on.

Set Up:

•Use a stand for the iPad. •Keep the iPad in the same spot.

•The smaller the movements, the smoother the animation.
