This camera is so easy to use.

Now I know how it’s done in the movies!

Animation is easier than I thought.

That intro video was cool!

Why are we using a marker to start?

Why do I have to take so many pictures to get 1 second of video!??

What do I do with the pictures after I take them?

My video doesn’t look as good as I want it to.

This is boring and tedious and takes too much time.

​

I’m not good at this.

My laptop is almost dead and I forgot my charger.

I don’t know how to work this camera.

I can’t wait to animate my LEGO from home.

I have so many ideas to explore.

There are so many kinds of stop-motion animation to choose from!

I can’t wait to show my parents and friends what I made.

​

I hope I can work with my friends to make a movie.
