Tom SawyerA seventh-grade student retells the story of Tom Sawyer using stop animation. She drew and colored all characters and prepared all elements of the setting. We used our school's professional studio lighting when taking photos and the school's Canon DSLR cameras for shooting scenes. Movie editing was done using iMovie.
"It felt so good to work really hard at something and see amazing results. I learned so much about story-telling and using all of the equipment at the school. I loved working on this project." |
