This Kapow Computing video supports teachers in introducing pupils to Stop Motion Studio software. It guides you through the process of creating a basic stop-motion animation by placing an object on a background and capturing a sequence of frames using the red button. The video covers how to move the object incrementally, preview the animation using the play button, and delete frames if mistakes occur, giving pupils the opportunity to review and refine their work.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work – videos. It helps teachers demonstrate practical techniques to improve animation quality, such as using the grid tool for accurate placement and the onion skinning feature to track previous movements. These features help pupils create smoother transitions and more effective animations. The video equips teachers with strategies to support pupils’ digital creativity while developing precision, sequencing, and attention to detail.
