Animate Everything!
Spaceships soar into space. Dots dance on a page. Rocks and twigs transform into expressive faces. Kids can easily create this kind of magic themselves, and all they require are a few simple tools. Divided into four short, easy-to-understand chapters, Animate Everything introduces basic concepts of animation to a young audience. Explaining visually with colourful images, siblings Lindsay and Will demonstrate how to bring everyday objects to life — and even how to animate people! Animate Everything encourages you to “make your own magic in whatever style you want.”

Which styles of animation do you see most often in the media? Why do you think animation is appealing for an audience? Which style was most interesting to you? Create your own animation using at least one of the types modelled in the video. Which animation style would you recommend for someone just starting out? Which types are more complicated and require more experience? What tools would you need to get started? How could you incorporate animation into projects at school? Use animation in your next project or assignment.
