'Suggest a simple plot with 6 scenes for a 1-minute video.'
'I have 3 hours. What stop-motion can I actually finish?'
Try it!
Plan one stop-motion with AI. Film it. Even if it is 15 seconds, finish it. Share with one person.
Practice this safely

Give it one detail from "Make Stop-Motion Stories With AI Plot Help" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check plot against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
