Lego Movie Maker Free
Model Making Tips• Keep your model simple - not
too many colours or details.
• Have large eyes and other features that you can move (like arms and hands).
• Your model must be able to stand up on its own.
• A model of a person should be about 7-10 cm tall.
Making Your Scenery• Keep your scenery simple.
• Keep the main details near the bottom of the page. You may not see all of your background when you film.
• Letter sized paper works well.
• You may want to make the ground or floor that your models will stand on.
Set Up:
•Use a stand for the iPad.•Keep the iPad in the same spot.
•The smaller the movements, the smoother the animation.
