American Revolution Meets Stop Motion

In our journey to understand different historical events leading to the American Revolution, we began by creating colonial characters that were dressed according to colonial fashions and their class. Our fashionable characters then made their way into a stop-motion movie. These movies have their characters either telling the story or responding to one historical event.

Beginning with research, the kids created a story board that helped them plan their story and how the characters respond.  Their story boards informed the scenes and story telling. Using a green screen, the movie-makers added backdrops that created the setting and added to telling the story. Finishing touches came from adding voice overs, sound, and editing. Stay tuned for the world premiere viewing of these fantastic short films!
