I found several aspects of storyboarding incredibly insightful. I will definitely use some of these next year in my class. During the 2012-2013 school year, my entire class made several movies. I felt that storyboarding was one of the harder concepts to teach. The students acted as if it was useless and tedious. I would love to show the difference between two movies where one storyboards and one goes straight to shooting. A video that we watched, featuring Disney, is an incredible video to use in displaying the benefits of storyboarding.
The stop motion apps show promise. I have used the stop motion and time-lapses via GoPro. I like the iMotion app. I also enjoy the ability to use the remote from another device to capture images and control the primary device. Here are a few time lapses I created during the 2012-2013 school year.
