About This Class

Remember how Matilda could move objects with her mind? In this course you will learn how you can have that power too with the use of stop motion animation. You'll be animating two (or more) objects becoming one. 

Some understanding of the stop motion technique is ideal, but even if you have never animated before if you follow the lessons step-by-step you should still be able to achieve something magical.

Feel free to use the concept I have given and extend the idea according to your own capabilities, the only limit is your own imagination.
