Triumphant Triceratops - By Maui and Toko

What I did:

I have been learning about dinosaurs.  My two favourite dinosaurs are T.Rex or Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops.  Triceratops is a plant eater.  He has three horns on his face.  He could fend off the most ferocious of dinosaurs.  Tyrannosaurus Rex has sharp teeth and a powerful jaw.  He likes to eat other dinosaurs.

I wanted to make an animation movie about these dinosaurs.  Toko helped me make my scenes and do my dinosaurs.

What I found hard:

• Holding the iPad still.
• Moving my dinosaurs tails and face in little bits.
• Taking heaps of photos was hoha.

Where to next:

I want to use different music, special effects and look at using different scenes in my work.  I think I could also help other people learn about making animation movies.
