Stop motion is an animation techiniqe in which you take pictures of something (usually puppets, dolls, or clay figures) and move them slightly for each picture.  When teh pictures are played back to back, it created an animated video!  We will be making short videos using the library's Lego collection.  For a decent example of what could make go to Youtube and view "Lego Camping Troubles Stop Motion Animation"  or just search lego stop motion to see more examples!
