Video Transcript

"Making a stop motion movie is a very tedious process. There are a number of ways you can go about making a stop motion movie. Even if you don't have a video camera, you can make a stop motion movie. By taking pictures individually, moving objects. Taking more pictures. Moving an object, take a picture, move an object, take a picture. Now if you have a video camera, it's much easier. How do you go about doing that? Well, I'm going to show you. Let's take a look. As you can see here, we have Mr. Joe Schmoe. Mr. Joe Schmoe, I'm going to take him and I'm going to move him here.
