Lights! Camera! Stop Action! Using iStopMotion – iPad App Review

iStopMotionYou are familiar with stop motion animations, whether you realize it or not. Without it we wouldn’t have had Gumby, Mr. Bill or Wallace & Grommit. The cinema technique requires careful planning and attention to detail with your scene being photographed or illustrated, each cell capturing a single moment. A subtle change and another quick capture. Eventually you have a series of stills that you can string together into a fully animated scene that gives the impression of true storytelling and movement.

iStopMotion puts you in the director’s seat, allowing you to create masterpieces without a Hollywood budget. As they proudly (and accurately) say, “a bit of clay or a toy can be the star of your animated masterpiece.” Imagine the joy your children will feel when a favorite doll or action figure is brought to life by their own hands.
