This class builds from the basic stop motion foundations of the Lego Stop Motion I class.  In this 30-week, hands-on class, students will dive deeper into set-building, story and character development. Students will also learn special effects, lighting, and camera techniques to create longer-form projects.  Open to students in grades 4-12 with previous Lego stop-motion experience (MYOM graduates are encouraged to enroll). Some Lego minifigs will be supplied and students are encouraged to bring their own (sanitized).

Materials needed:

• Apple or Android smartphone (preferred), Tablet is OK

• Animation software (Stop Motion Studio - $5)

• Minifigs from home (sanitized)

• Tripod for home use (can be made of Lego)

• Baseplate for home use (At least 14x14)

Class Homework: Homework will be given on a weekly basis to review lessons learned from class. Semester projects include comedy and action shorts and a feature presentation/showcase at semester end. Some solo and group projects will be done in-class.
