Granny Fenella Part One
Welcome to the wonderful world of Granny Fenella and part one of her story. Enjoy!
Ideas Fund: Granny Fenella - Part 1
Now you have watched the film, we have two activities you can do at home.
Paper airplanes (suitable for all ages)
Zoe and Christine have made you a film that shows you how to make three different types of paper airplane. Which will be your favourite? Which one will fly the furtherst or the highest? Do send pictures of films of your creations at info@imaginate.org.uk or you can post on social media using the hashtags #GrannyFenella and #ImaginateIdeas.
Making your own set and film (age 8+)
This activity is more complicated so you might need some help. Zoe and Christine have created this plan for you with links to lots of useful things you can use for free.
1. BUILD YOUR BACKGROUND
Every brilliant video needs a brilliant background. If you have a printer you can download Granny Fenella’s home here:
Print your own Granny Fenella set (colour)
Print your own Granny Fenella set (black & white)
Or you could design and make one of your own. You can use some plants, a bookcase, or even just a tablecloth!
2. IMAGINE A STORY
What story do you want to tell? It can be anything; perhaps a toy comes to life and tries to make cookies; maybe a plant starts mysteriously moving around your house; or maybe a stick figure drawing tries to escape. Here’s an idea to kick-start your story if you want one - What do you see when you’re 1-inch-tall? What is your world if you’re very very small?
3. DOWNLOAD THE APP
Now all you need is the Stop Motion Studio app downloaded onto your phone or device, and you’re ready to go.
Here is the download for Android phones or devices.
Here is the download for Apple phones or devices..
4. GET MAKING
That’s it! You have everything you need, now you can go ahead and make your own video. Don’t forget to share it with Granny Fenella afterwards by sending it to info@imaginate.org.uk - whether it’s 5 seconds or 10 minutes long, she’d love to see it!
Top Tips
Use our music! Add Granny Fenella’s soundtrack to your own video.
