Take one writing pad.

Go to the bottom right of the last page.

about 1mm in from right and 1mm from bottom draw a circle

Go to next page from the bottom

still 1mm from side but 1.5mm from bottom draw circle

repeat on each further page from end

increase poition of circle by .5mm from bottom, still 1mm from right

repeat until 10mm from bottom

now reverse

reduce by .5mm on following pages

About 20 or so sheets sheets should have circle

Close pad

Flick pages with thum at bottom right

See the ball bounce

I suggest you do little surfing or better yet crack open a book or two for your term paper. This is not the homework cheating hotline.

I thought this was the home of experts with infinite knowledge totally willing to help anyone with a movie problem.

Anyhow, asking a question is not cheating, copying the answer verbatim might be.

8) with stop motion, you create artificial movements.
f.e., you take a doll, shoot one frame on your film, then move the arm of the doll a little bit upwards, shoot another frame, move the arm another time a little bit more, shoot a singular frame again and so on.
Calculate that you must divide a specific movement, that should last 1 second afterwards, into 24 singular steps!
This way, you can shoot frame by frame complex movements.
After finishing, you project your film with normal speed (24 frames per second) the separate phases of your manipulations will melt together to a
fluent movement.
