Stop Motion Magic
In this hands-on workshop, visitors will work together to create a stop motion movie using LEGO, toy cars, and a camera from the Discovery Lab! Participants will learn how stop motion animation works by capturing images frame by frame, exploring concepts like frames per second while carefully moving objects to create motion. Learn how to build simple phone stands, set up lighting and framing and animate!

After creating a group film, visitors will have the opportunity to try making their own mini movies! Families are encouraged to bring a phone to use, as we build simple phone stands, set up lighting and framing, and animate using the Stop Motion Studio app.

This workshop supports STEAM learning through creative storytelling, understanding motion and timing, problem solving, and hands-on exploration of digital media and animation.
