1. Increasing the visibility and the impact of the project.
2. The volunteers are expressing their creativity.
3. Improving their technical and digital competences.
4. Increasing the level of motivation of the volunteers for the project.
5. Bringing closer EVS and local volunteers (if involved).
6. Approaching the local society with a more attractive and entertaining way.
1. First step is to decide about the scenario (see "Scenario Building" tool).
2. Then according to the scenario you choose the kind of animation video you will use. It can be drawing animation in paper, figures made by clay, stop motion (a series of photos of people moving), a combination of the above etc.
3. Presentation of the technical information (software and hardware).
4. Getting the material, make the settings and start taking the photos by moving the object slow on the terrain you have chosen.
5. After finishing this procedure you have to edit the video. There are many open source applications/ software for editing a stop motion video. If you have the opportunity to use a professional one you can have more special effects etc. (you don't actually need that especially if you do it with people not so familiar with computers).
The facilitator is explaining the procedure and gives the basic technical information. The procedure is very easy and the volunteers can self manage the production of this video. It is better if the facilitator is there only for help and advice.
