Art and Design KS2 | Stop-motion animation | BBC Teach

Presenter Naomi Wilkinson visits an animation studio and shows us how to create our own stop-motion animation.

When we enjoy animations, we might not always consider the work that has gone into creating the piece.

Animators use drawings, 3D models and everyday objects in their creations and stop-motion is an extremely accessible form of animation, for animators of all abilities and ages.

We meet Nush Kishani Naanayakkara, BAFTA-winning animation director, or as we call her, master animator.

Nush demonstrates how to plan and create a stop-motion animation.

She photographs inanimate objects as starting points for a simple stop-motion animation, and she shows how we can bring character to everyday objects using movement and sound.

Naomi and a group of children take on the challenge and working as a group they create a stop-motion animation of their own.

We see the result of their work and the short stop-motion animation they create.

This short film is from Get Creative, a series of short films emphasising the importance of creativity for KS2 pupils.

\'Get Creative\' includes four short films for primary art and design and four short films for creative writing, and looks to explore creativity in real world situations, and inspire creativity in your classroom.

These films meet and extend the current national curriculum requirements for art and design at KS1 and KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and at 2nd Level in Scotland.
