imotion |
Download this free app and get started straight away! Although this app may seem simple, you can create very complex films with a little imagination. Both stop motion and time-lapse film can be created in seconds. What’s the difference between time-lapse and stop motion? Capture changes over time by setting an ‘interval’ between frames and you can create a time-lapse. Stop motion is all about taking pictures in sequence to create the illusion of movement. The technique can be used to bring inanimate objects to life or produce effects that defy what is possible in reality.

Use iMotion to as a way to reflect on learning, to tell a story, and to demonstrate a time-lapse of a scientific process.
View the sample videos below that show how students can animate with iMotion: |
