Would like to do a presentation on stop motion video

Not sure if this is something anyone would be interested in but I know my students were upset that I didn't incorporate this earlier in the year. As it turned out, it kept them very engaged as the TAKS was over and they loved learning and being creative. I would like to share what I learned teaching it, along with the glitches along the way and how we overcame them.
