About the course

Ready to create magic?

After this class, you’ll be able to create your very own stop-motion videos straight from your phone! I’m going to take you through the process of creating a stop-motion step by step and show lots of examples of stop-motion, live demos & screen recordings from the phone app that I use.

This class is perfect for anybody looking to put out really creative video content for their social media channels and digital assets such as content creators, social media managers, influencers, marketers or entrepreneurs, without having to spend thousands of dollars on cameras or software.

Stop-motion can be used to showcase food, clothing, people, products and pretty much anything you can think of! Here’s what we’re going to cover:

  • Concepting: Laying out your idea and planning how you’re going to shoot it
  • Phone Settings: How to optimize them specifically for stop-motion video creation
  • Stability: Why having a tripod can make or break your stop-motion video (I give hacks if you don’t own a tripod!)
  • Lighting: Tips & tricks for lighting your videos
  • DIY Pro Studio: How to create the look of a professional studio without breaking the bank
  • Edit: How to edit your videos
  • Export: How to export for different social media channels

This is a workshop style class, you’re going to be creating right along side me as I guide you through how to create your very own stop motion video.

All you need is your phone, curiosity and a child-like imagination! See you in class!

What can you learn from this course?

Create your very own stop-motion video! You’ll be in awe at the magic you’re able to create!

Gather these materials before you start: 

  • Download the LifeLapse app here.
  • A small object to animate: if you want to follow along with my concept, grab your favorite mug!
  • Optional/Recommended: Tripod, a lamp (if you don’t have natural light available), a large poster-sized piece of colored paper.

And let’s get to it:

  1. Open the LifeLapse app and create a new project.
  2. Lock Exposure: otherwise your phone will auto-expose each photo as you move the object, and that could cause some flicker.
  3. Turn on the grid: we want to keep everything straight and lined up properly
  4. Lock White balance & Focus: place your object in the center of the frame. Then, lock white balance and focus to make sure those settings don’t change throughout your shoot.
  5. Shoot your stop-motion video!
  6. Once you’ve captured all the photos, it’s time to edit! First, up the speed to about 75% on the slider.
  7. To hold on the end frame longer, we can go into the photos and duplicate the last photo a few times. This will create a hold.
  8. Try the Boomerang feature and add some music! Get creative :)
  9. Export your video as a .mp4 file, and share your project in the class gallery!

I’m so excited to see what you create— have fun with it and feel free to ask any questions along the way. Looking forward to seeing your magic!
