Stop Motion Animation with Needle Felting

Stop Motion Animation with Needle Felting

“Thank you so much for trusting me to guide you through this journey! I hope you had fun and learned a lot. Now it's your turn to play on the idea of creative exploration by using needle-felted colored objects! Let me show you an example of what I would like to see in your presentation: The Objects Think about the objects you want to use in your course project. If this is your first time I encourage you to try making some simple 3D felted items.

Stop-Motion Studio Now that you have your material organized, incorporate stop-motion animation using any software you prefer. I highly encourage you to use a mobile app that enables you to animate on your phone to make this process easier. The Project Once you are familiar with basic felting and stop-motion, it is time to tackle the project. Make a 10-second animation that includes 3D and 2D felt and hand animation. Keep in mind that the felting techniques I cover can be applied to more professional setups depending on what you want to create in the future! But be patient; this art requires a lot of practice. Before saying goodbye, I will highly encourage you to add sound effects and music to give it a more finished polish. Share your project on the forum by clicking the "Create your project" button. I will look at your publications as soon as possible and answer any doubts that need clarification. In the meantime, I encourage you to see what your fellow students have been up to and comment on their posts! See you soon!”

I want you to be original and creative with your final project. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve this. First, make sure your tripod is secured to your work surface and your felt objects are pinned to your base so that if you bump anything, it won't move. Work out a road map for your animation. Work out your strokes and make sure your hand or your object won't be blocking the camera. If you ar...”
