Create cartoons
Creating your own animated cartoons is a snap with drawing tools, clip art, and path animation options. Quickly clone frames and use the onion skin to line up your characters and adjust their movements.
Make stop-motion animations and claymations
Capture frames with a web cam or dv camera, use time lapse options, or import from a connected camera to build claymations, LEGO® stop-motion, and cut-paper animations.
Nothing engages students more than creating claymation. With Frames as the foundation, claymation helps students showcase knowledge using a fun and creative medium. Providing a unique combination of high touch and high tech, this motivating process transforms your classroom into an active learning environment. Your students will love working on cross-curricular group projects that incorporate writing and technology skills.
Tell digital stories
Tell your stories with text, pictures, and your own narration. Pan and zoom on each frame and record your voice to one of three soundtracks. Use the chroma key to place yourself anywhere in the world or in your own illustrated fantasy land.
Digital storytelling is an effective way to engage students in their learning. Storytelling with Frames validates students’ perspectives as they combine media to create powerful stories for all to see and hear. Creating digital stories, especially when using a format that is relevant and meaningful, develops students’ ability to interpret events beyond their immediate experience and builds planning, organizational, and time-management skills.
