Conant art student try making stop-motion film

Conant High School art department students are currently producing their own stop-motion film projects.

Using digital cameras, students take photos of the action, and then download these image files onto Macintosh computers in the lab. Video editing software is used to edit and produce short films.

Conant High School students Joe Melone and Scott Durand collaborated on one such experimental film project, that utilizes both video and stop motion animation.

Their social commentary film, entitled "Happiness is Cool Plastic," was edited using Final Cut Pro software on a Macintosh computer in Justin Bickus' Studio Multimedia class, and was shown at the school's annual Music Video Day in the auditorium.
