Simon's First Stop-Motion Video
Tags:Simon Edwards | Obi-wan vs. Anakin from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.
Last week while I attended his IEP meeting Simon got to hang out with his friend Ben. Ben and his Dad had just been perfecting the art of stop-motion and taught Simon the basics. We left there with the name of a small camera and the software (Frame By Frame) Simon needed to make some of his own videos here at home.
The camera arrived over the weekend and he's been making little videos daily since then. This first one is about 9 seconds long - you might have to push play twice (for some reason I did). So cool.

Hysterical - thank goodness for Lego, my son is the same age as Simon and we have a HUGE collection of lego people, I think sometimes the sets of lego are bought specifically just for the people they contain !!

Very cool. My kids would love to do something like that. I'll have to show this to them. Do I need a tutorial, or is it pretty intuitive?

I was thinking the same thing. My nephew would love this but I was wondering how easy it would be to explain to him. Any tutorial would be awesome.
Thanks guys.
You can find loads of great tutorials on the web; I did a search for "how to make stop motion Lego videos" and found a ton!

Way to go Simon! What a great video. I'm sure it took a lot of time to make, and it was well worth it. It's awesome!

My son just made his first too! However, his older sister had to get her Polly Pocket dolls in with the Star Wars action... He wasn't too happy about that!
