While the mobile phone is great for taking photos of your lunch or your cat... or your cat eating your lunch, it is also a versatile creative tool. A simple way to spontaneously capture and create moments of inspiration through photo and video.

In this class, I'll show you how to create compelling stop motion videos using your mobile phone and minimal equipment. We'll cover ideation, storyboarding, prep and production, lighting and composition and of course, the shooting and editing. We'll work on a project under the theme of "destination."
Whether you're interested in stop motion on a serious level, or if you just want to dabble here and there, this class will teach you the basics to get started. You don't need to be a film industry professional or have professional photo, video and editing equipment. All you need is a little inspiration, a good idea and your phone.
