Making a Halloween Film
Two young creators spent a rainy afternoon turning clay and cardboard into Halloween magic — all with the Zu3D Animation Kit. From shaping their characters to capturing each tiny movement, this simple family project became a mini-movie you can watch and share.
From a Lump of Clay to Spooky Stars
The children began by shaping simple ghost characters — soft, friendly designs that are perfect for small hands. Adding eyes, mouths and purple “ears” gave each ghost a personality and made the animation extra fun.
Build a Mini Movie World
With cardboard, paint and a little imagination, they created a haunted castle complete with a crooked tree and dark archways. Zu3D’s onion skinning and frame-by-frame tools helped them nudge characters a few millimetres at a time to create smooth, lifelike movement.
Add Sound, Music & Movie Polish
Once the animation was complete, the children added sound effects, music, titles, and end credits. With Zu3D’s built-in tools (including rig removal and green screen), their short film felt like a real production — and they were thrilled to share it with family.
The story taking shape — the ghosts meet in front of the castle.
“It’s amazing watching them concentrate so hard and then burst into laughter when the ghost actually moves!”
