![]() This is an excellent resource for teachers that want to incorporate stop motion animation into their curriculum! Lauridsen's book is easy to follow and full of tidbits and resources that veteran animators will find useful! I love that this is a digital book, as the video and and interactive resources just can't be duplicated with paper! Get an immediate boost into your learning when you download all the GarageBand files and MP3 soundtracks used in the projects, and a further 15 bonus soundtracks. The GarageBand chapter covers recording voice, samples and creating music. The iStopMotion chapter covers animation and time lapse. ![]() Inspiring movie and sound examples are built into the book without the need for web connection. IPad Animation covers 4 apps ( iStopMotion, Garageband, iMovie and djay), 9 stop motion projects and 15 accessories. More than 230 pages of instruction, tips, examples and flow chart diagrams so you can master stop motion – fast! Learn the complete stop motion process on an iPad - weaving together story, pictures and sound. Easy!īoinx iStopMotion – the complete and portable stop motion and time lapse recording studio. Once done, the handy Send To iMovie (or Final Cut Pro) option allows for easy export to YouTube, MobileMe, iPhone, and other presets from those applications.IPad Animation – your interactive guide to making stop motion movies on the iPad. User adjustable grids and title/action safe overlays also aid production. Markers allow you to plot out your events on the timeline, and the movie overlay and soundtrack functions allow animating to audio for lip synch and/or rotoscope work. The onion-skinning feature makes seeing what you’re doing (even replacing a middle frame) much easier. There are plenty of keyboard shortcuts to keep your workflow humming, and you can even use the Apple Remote for various capture and playback tasks. Once you are set up and working, the software is quick and easy (at least with video sources). Also not supported are FireWire based DVCPRO HD cameras nor popular AVCHD cameras. This means you can’t get live video feedback on screen as you move your props around, which hugely slows down your animation process. ![]() Note, however, that under OS X 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 support for most Canon DSLRs was lost for iStopMotion Pro, although the company says it is working on a fix. Disappointingly, while many Nikon and Canon DSLRs are supported, the modern Live View feature that works over USB is not supported with iStopMotion Pro. Boinx’s Website has a long list of cameras that have been tested, but not all of them work. Video capable cameras attached over SDI (Serial Digital Interface), HD-SDI, or HDMI connections are also supported if you have an appropriate video capture card. You can use a variety of cameras with iStopMotion Pro-it supports FireWire DV/HDV cameras, as well as many webcams, point and shoots, and DSLRs. I’d rather use better tools later in the process that I can edit and tweak rather than lock in a look at acquisition. A serious limitation, however, is that these filters have to be, and can only be, applied at the moment of capture-no changing your mind later. As you animate, there is a very rudimentary on-capture color correction tool available that applies only to the frame you are about to capture (but not prior frames), as well as a Tilt Shift filter that can be used on the current frame to give larger sets a miniaturized look.
