You need a lot of patience to create a film like this.

Tip: Start small - have a simple project idea to try out - make mistakes and learn from them

Step 1. Have an idea

Step 2. Draw a plan of what you want to do

Step 3. Collect the tools, equipment and prepare what you need to make your film

Step 4. Fix the camera so that it can't move

Step 5. Define your film area so that you only film what you want to

Step 6. Don't have too many characters or too much happening at one time

Step 7. Move your characters fraction by fraction to create your film
