You will need:

• A5 sheets of paper (you can cut any paper you have into a5/sized - any kind of paper you like to use.

• Drawing materials : charcoal, soft pastels, graphite or ink / paint (make sure you have pencil / sketching materials if you use ink as well.

• Masking tape

• Your phone with a stop motion app downloaded on it - it’s a free software for animating: https://www.cateater.com/ and it’s available for android and iOs for free. Here is also a quick intro on how to use the programme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Q8IMoV27Q&t=5s&ab_channel=KarolinaGlusiec

• You also will need an animation stand - something that would hold your phone so you can animate hands free :) think of a selfie stick you can attach your phone to, or a phone tripod or an overhead arm like this one if you have funds: https://www.amazon.co.uk/WANBY-Overhead-Articulating-Flexible-Microphone/dp/B08XXX4JH7?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A12NL677JBRRGS

You can also use a cardboard box or a piece of a cardboard on top of a pile of books! It really works:
