But, there are a few things that we need to look out for when creating our animation. If we’re in the wrong location, for example, that could ruin our efforts. Or having your camera set in automatic mode could do the same, too! So, in this course, I’m going to introduce you to the world of stop motion animation, which should hopefully allow you to become comfortable enough to create your own videos.

This course is perfect for anyone looking for a new way to tell their story through video. It would help if you have a little experience with photography and/or videography, specifically, how to control your camera in manual mode, but it is not essential to complete this course.

With all of that said, let’s grab our camera and create some amazing stop motion animation.
