Looking for an app to demonstrate motion via multiple exposure images

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding an app that can demonstrate motion through multiple exposure photography for a 6th-grade classroom. Users recommend several tools, including Tracker, Video Physics, Strobic, and Motion Shot, which can facilitate serial shooting and overlay images automatically based on specified time intervals. The importance of selecting appropriate frames and utilizing burst modes on smartphone cameras is emphasized for capturing motion effectively. These tools are suitable for creating motion diagrams and visualizing concepts of uniform and accelerated motion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multiple exposure photography techniques
  • Familiarity with smartphone camera burst modes
  • Basic knowledge of motion concepts in physics
  • Experience with educational software tools for demonstrations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the features of Tracker for motion analysis
  • Research Video Physics for video-based physics experiments
  • Investigate the Strobic app for creating motion diagrams
  • Learn how to utilize Motion Shot for capturing multiple exposures
USEFUL FOR

Educators, physics teachers, and anyone interested in demonstrating motion concepts through visual aids in a classroom setting.

I am introducing uniform and accelerated motion in a 6th grade. To demonstrate the difference I would like to use multiple exposure photography (like in the image below) in the classroom.

There are many apps to make serial shoots and other apps to overlay them artfully. I am looking for an App to do both conveniently (automatically) after entering a time interval and hitting the button.

Does anyone have some experience with this?

To create an effect such as the one in the image you presented, you would need more than just the overall time interval as a parameter -- you'd also need to specify which frames to use, or at least supply a subject-matter-dependent high-precision frame-strobe rate:

Don't the "burst" modes on many smartphone cameras do this? Granted, you can only do this for a short period of time, but for falling objects in a classroom, that should fit the bill.
