Year 3 Computing- Animation

Year 3 have been experimenting with animation this half term using the ‘I-Motion’ app on the I-pads. We explored how animation works and tried to make a flip-book by hand which proved tricky! We then used the animation software to create a series of frames which we looped together to create our own short animation films. We used a technique called ‘onion skinning’ to make tiny changes to our drawings before creating our finished masterpieces. We recognised how technology makes the job much easier and quicker. We evaluated our finished work and shared our animations with one another.
