Step 1: Everyone should read Section 2. Storyboard before beginning. Have a group meeting. Brainstorm and create an idea for your claymation story. Begin working on your storyboard and plan your story.

Step 2: Choose your rolls. Look over the following roles and decide who will take responsibility for each roll. Since this is a group project, it is very important that all students are equal participants in every step of the creating process. There will be disagreements between students, but these must be resolved in a mature fashion as would be expected in the professional arena. In smaller groups, each person may need more than one roll.

The director will make sure that the storyboard is completed, characters are created along with detachable parts, lighting and sets are correct and animations are photographed in the correct order.
