USING THE AV MIX
You will need a computer to view, edit, and share your videos. You can create your movie using software like iMovie or MovieMaker, or online programs like WeVideo.  For Stop Motion, it is useful to have small toys such as cars, stuffed animals, or figurines available for students to animate. Mini-stacking cups are popular, as well as a white board and markers for filmmakers to draw out their characters and plots.

Request AV Mix Box 1 for a Stop Motion program, add AV Mix Box 2 if you want to do live action videos, and add AV Mix Box 3 to experiment with green screen effects. For scanning and printing, request AV Mix Box 4.
