Steps to Creating an Animation
Step One – Come up with a Story Concept Step Two – Create a Storyboard Step Three - Design and create the
background Step Four - Design and create the characters Step Five – Take the pictures Step Six – Create the Animation Step Seven - Share

Step One
Come up with a story or concept.Use your imagination! Examples: the water cycle, long division,
fractions, a scene from a play or story you are studying
Solution to a problemThe story is the most important part of the
claymation project!Project Planner Sheet
![Page 9: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step Two
Create a storyboard.Storyboards don’t have to be detailed.
They just need to show the overall concept of the animation.
Storyboards can be simple pictures or words, or a combination of both.
The more you include in your storyboard, the easier it will be to create your characters.

Storyboard Example for older students:
PT3 Example and explanation
![Page 12: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Storyboards for younger students:
A simple piece of construction paper folded into 6 squares works perfect as a storyboard .
Create a concept map or flow chart showing the sequence of the story.
![Page 13: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Storyboard Example
Example taken from http://library.thinkquest.org/22316/start.html
![Page 14: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step Three
Design and create your backgroundMaterials needed:
Construction PaperMarkers or CrayonsGlueCardboard BoxesCotton balls
![Page 15: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You want your characters and their actions to be the focus of your
animation, not what is behind them.
Background Tip
![Page 16: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Make sure your background is not so large that it makes your characters seem too small.
A large size piece of construction paper is plenty big.
A box that reams of paper comes in is perfect.
Background Tip
![Page 17: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3-D additions to your background make your animation more appealing.
A box and a downward camera angle are great ways to add depth to your animation.
Pop ups on your background are also
great ways to add depth.
Background Tip

![Page 26: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Step Four
Design and create charactersCreate a lightweight armature out of
pipe cleaners or wire, styrofoam, and aluminum foil (PT3 example)
Cover the armature with a thin “skin” of clay
TIP… put magnets in their feet and use a cookie sheet for a floor
![Page 27: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Materials you will definitely need!
ClayPipe Cleaners: they allow your body to
bend.Foil: wrap your character in foil to add
thickness, strength, and to help the clay stick.
Styrofoam Balls: great for head or feet.
![Page 28: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Extra MaterialsPopsicle sticksPompomsErasersYarn or stringToothpicksStick on EyesScissorsPlastic Spoons or Knives
![Page 29: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Make sure that your characters are 1 and a half to three inches tall.
Characters that are too tall will not stand up.
Character Tip
![Page 30: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Good Characters
•These characters are not too tall and they are very detailed.
•Built and designed by a third grader and a fifth grader.
![Page 31: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Good Characters
•These characters are perfect size and very detailed.
•Designed and created by a 5th grade resource student with the help of a first grader.
![Page 32: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Good Characters
•Spongebob is a great character.
•The materials that he was made of caused him to be top heavy.
• The creator compensated by placing something behind him to support the weight.
![Page 33: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Not So Good Character
•This character is not very detailed, as you can see it has no mouth.
•It is also a little bit too tall.
![Page 35: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Not So Good Character
•This character is too small.
• It is also not covered with clay.
• It is unappealing to the eye.
![Page 36: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Not So Good Character
•This character is not very well put together.
• It is not completely covered in clay
•It appears very sloppy.
![Page 37: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Step Five
Take the picturesSet up your cameraUse good lightingPracticeShoot
![Page 38: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Make sure your camera is on the correct setting.
Setting mega-pixels too low will make the pictures appear blurry or distorted.
Setting mega-pixels too high will cause your animation to be too large unless you edit the picture files.
Today we will be using 2 mega-pixels.
Camera Tips
![Page 39: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Make sure you have a stable surface for the camera to sit on, such as a tripod.
It is important that your camera does not move at all during the making of your animation.
Find a well lighted place in the room or mount a lamp directed toward the set.
Make markings where the camera goes.
Camera Tips
![Page 40: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If your camera only has digital zoom, do not zoom, simply place camera for best angle and picture.
If you are using a camera with floppy disk, you might need multiple disks.
Number the floppy disk to keep your pictures in order.
Camera Tips
![Page 41: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Set up the background and characters and do a practice run before you begin taking pictures.
Move the characters about a half an inch at a time.
30 to 70 pictures make a great animation. Use your run through to test this.
Camera Tips
![Page 42: Claymation Instructions for the Classroom](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554f4b3bb4c905423f8b4d10/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Elevate the camera to get the best shots of your animation.
One person should be in charge of holding the camera still and taking the pictures.
Another person should be in charge of moving the characters.
