Media
Media Productions I & II are each semester long courses that allow students to learn how to use film and visual imagery to express themselves. In Media I there is a focus on introducing concepts such as preproduction, editing (as seen in the Recut Trailers), and stop motion. Media II allows students to further that study and create more pieces such as How To videos, individual stop motions, and Day in the Life videos.

Stop Motion
Stop Motion Animation is a technique used in animation to bring unmoving objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the objects in small increments while filming a frame per slight movement. When all the frames are played in sequence it shows movement. This is the illusion of life.
For the following projects, students created their own stop motions using house hold items as well as creating their own characters from scratch.
