They're Done! First set of Stop-Time Animations...

After 3 weeks of work, our grade eights have pulled it together and completed the sound tracks for their stop-time animations.

20 groups, 20 projects, boiled down to 25 minutes of finished product.

Camtasia Studio worked great to create the final collection. A designated area of the computer screen is assigned for recording. The Flash .swf movie is played and quickly moved into the recording area. The cool thing, totally by accident, was that you can record the mouse clicking on the file name, which makes a cool start to each movie event!

The finished movie clips become .avi files, which were then timelined into a continuous movie. The big file, also an .avi, was then imported into Adobe Premier for some final editing before being burned to a DVD.
