As an introduction to Stop Motion it is very good. It covers most of the issues of preparing for the shots and the execution of the movement.

The course is good and the teacher is a luxury, however this course needs to be updated, because there are new editing applications and many final projects have already been removed from video presentation platforms. In addition to new techniques.

I attended a course about a year ago where I learned the basics of making a stop motion video. I would like to refresh and deepen my knowledge. This course will definitely be good for that.
