Year 8 students from Moseley Park Technology College visited the CLC to create stop-frame animations based around Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
The students were split into seven groups, and each group shot a stop-frame animation (in iCanAnimate) of the events in one key scene of the play.
The animations were then exported into iMovie, where text and voice-over were added. We then combined together the seven scenes to create a single film.
Congratulations to the students on the finished result; for one day’s work, it’s a fantastic effort!
Here is the finished film:
