What Is A Stikbot?
What Is Stop Motion Animation?
Stop motion animation is a kind of animation created by putting together a series of still images so they appear to be moving.
Our First Stikbot Challenge
For today's task you will use the Stickbot app to create a 4 - 5 second animation of your Stickbot standing in place and moving its arms and legs. You can make your Stickbot wave hello, stretch or bend its arms and legs, and move its head, but your Stickbot must remain in place. You will use the onion skinning effect to help you make a smooth animation.
