Write and draw up a complete storyboard of the movie, which is a panel-by-panel script of the movie's actions and lines; think of it as a crude comic book on large posterboard. This is your movie's blueprint.
Draw and color the characters and surroundings to make the animation frames for your movie. You can do this on paper, but the more professional method involves drawing and painting on transparent sheets, known as "cels".
Continue drawing the above-mentioned frames; you need one for each slight movement your characters and other objects make in a scene. Please note that it takes about 24 frames for one second of recorded video.
Arrange your completed frames in the order that they will be shot in; stacking them on top of one another works well, going first frame to last from to top to bottom.
Shoot each individual frame with your camera, then move to the next frame and shoot it. You only need to capture each frame for a split second.
Play back the cartoon movie. You can likely do this on your camera's playback function or by uploading it into a computer movie editing program by connecting the camera to a computer through a USB cord. With the computer, you can also crop, cut and edit the movie as you see fit.
