How to Make Easy Stop Motion Films with Frameographer

Here's the deal. Stop motion and time-lapse movies are awesome. Whether they make you think of claymation classics from holidays past or super stylized music videos from today, the simple movement of objects on a screen will always feel a little bit magical.

But, not all of us have fancy cameras, tripods, backdrops, lighting, and 500 hours to spend on creating a stop motion or time-lapse of our own. Until now. Ok, no we haven't come up with some ingenious way to steal a bunch of cameras, tripods, backdrops, and lighting, and we aren't suggesting time travel. All this stop motion film will take is your phone, a $5 tripod, and an app.

makes the process of creating a beautiful, seamless stop motion films ridiculously easy. Download the app (

) and get ready to channel your inner Wes Anderson.

Time-lapse and stop motion movies are both created by taking a sequence of still images and playing them back at whatever speed you like. The app allows you to capture and export in HD quality, add a soundtrack to your movie from your iPhone's music library, and you can use the front or back camera.

We recommend grabbing an inexpensive phone tripod to make the process a wee bit easier. We grabbed this one for just $4 on Amazon. Then gather all of the objects you'll be using to create your masterpiece. We used two pieces of wood grain paper and 5 plastic dinosaurs.

Set up your phone on the tripod, fire up Frameographer, and capture as many frames as you like! Make edits, add music, and simply export to your camera roll and you're good to go.

Starbucks fans, the Starbucks summer menu for 2025 is coming way sooner than you think! Launching next month, the coffee chain gave us a cheeky lil’ sneak peek at their next seasonal lineup, and it looks stacked.

Scroll on to see everything coming to the Starbucks summer menu in May!

Meet The ​​Starbucks Summer Menu For 2025!

Starbucks

Here's the full lineup for this year's Starbucks summer menu:

  • NEW! Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
  • Summer-Berry Refreshers (Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher and Summer Skies Drink to return)
  • NEW! Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop
Below, we dive into each item so you can know what to expect once these menu items drop in May! We don't have an official launch date yet, but will keep you updated here the moment we know more details.

Starbucks

NEW! Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

Yummm. Inspired by horchata, we anticipate this new shaken espresso flavor from Starbucks to have notes of cinnamon and coconut, both of which pair really well for a light and refreshing sip – much needed in the summer! Per some Starbucks employees on Reddit, it looks like it'll be crafted using an all-new horchata syrup, too. 👀

Starbucks

Summer-Berry Refreshers

That's right: Starbucks' boba drinks are officially coming back! Launching next month, the chain's blue-tinted Summer-Berry Refreshers come with a serving of raspberry-flavored popping boba to elicit summertime fun. The boba pearls were very divisive among baristas and customers when they hit menus in 2024.

Last year, this lineup of Refreshers came in three variations: the Summer-Berry Refresher, the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher, and the Summer Skies Drink (mixed with coconut milk). The last two will definitely be returning to the summer menu for 2025! After a taste test from last year's launch, the Summer Skies ended up being our favorite.

Starbucks

NEW! Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop

Lastly, Starbucks is introducing a brand-new cake pop flavor for summertime: Strawberries & Cream! Some Starbucks employees on Reddit noted that it'll include a strawberry cake base with buttercream, which sounds so yummy. This new bite will join the existing cake pop trio of Birthday Cake (pictured above), Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream.

Jesse Eisenberg's been in the director's chair with movies like When You Finish Saving the World and A Real Pain under his belt, but he's just getting started. Next up is an A24 musical comedy that already has a promising cast. Maybe it's a sign of the times, but I think pop culture could use more poignant stories mixed with a dash of humor!

Keep scrolling to learn everything about Jesse Eisenberg's new musical movie.

Who's in the cast for Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy?

Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Bernadette Peters

Variety reports Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy has an impressive cast so far. Here's the familiar faces we'll see:

  • Julianne Moore
  • Paul Giamatti
  • Jesse Eisenberg
  • Bonnie Mulligan
  • Colton Ryan
  • Lilli Cooper
  • Maulik Pancholy
  • Halle Bailey
  • Havana Rose Liu
  • Bernadette Peters

What is the musical comedy about? 

Variety also revealed Julianne Moore's character will be a "shy woman who is unexpectedly cast in a community theater musical production, going to extremes as she loses herself in the role."

I'm sensing Only Murders in the Building season 4 vibes with the exception of murder. Hopefully death isn't a major plot in the storyline?

Has filming started for it? 

Variety reports the musical comedy began filming this month!

What kind of music can we expect to hear?

Amy Sussman/Getty Image,

While the sound for Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy is still a secret, we can expect to hear the filmmaker's "original music and lyrics" throughout it (via Variety). Music supervisor Steven Gizicki (La La Land), executive music producer Bill Sherman (In the Heights), and cinematographer Drew Daniels (Oscar-winning Anora) are also a part of the movie.

When will Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy premiere in theaters? 

For now that news is TBD, but we'll let you know as soon we find out! Wouldn't it be nice if it premieres closer to fall?
