About the final project for: Stop Motion for Social Media

Stop Motion for Social Media

“Thank you for taking my course and I hope it was fun! It was a pleasure to share my knowledge with you and to have contributed to the creation of your own animation. I have prepared a list of essential steps to help organize your project. Let's go? Storyboard You will need to create the storyboard, choose the theme and move forward, do research if necessary! Use the PDF with the basic principles of animation if necessary, it is very useful as a left-hander for those just starting out.

Decoration and configuration Once you have the storyboard, move forward with building the scene, looking for objects that make sense in the environment. Then place the lights, tripod and cell phone. Pay attention to the shadows you create, it’s important!
Animation Action! Let's get to the fun part, you'll need time and a lot of patience! Take note that there are moments of pause and moments of acceleration. Determine the number of takes you need to convey your idea, use creativity and originality. Pre-production Edit the photos, choose the correct time for your animation, the best format for the social network you want. Design the sound, choose the sounds and/or music and finalize your project. Remember that sound is almost 50% of the animation.
Now it’s time to share your project! Click on the “Create your project” button. Watch what the course community is doing, comment. This helps to improve it! The community grows! I will come by as soon as possible to comment on your work and discuss it with you. See you soon! ”

José Lourenço is a talented visual artist and stop motion animator who started making short videos in a playful way, but quickly led him to collaborate with big brands thanks to social networks. With a fascination with stop motion animations since he was a child, José transmits his fantasy universe using techniques similar to those of the past, but with the convenience of doing it with a mobile phone.

His creative process is full of magic, color, fun and simplicity, using a mixture of manual art and imperfect fluidity that adds authenticity and warmth to his works. With this course on Domestika, José shares his passion and knowledge so that he can bring his own stop motion animations to life and share his stories with the world.
