However I liked the way that <I>I Can Animate</I> gives you various short-cuts to speed up the process as much as possible. For example, I liked it that if you have a number of frames of an arm going up, you can get the arm coming back down just with a paste in reverse order instead of having to re-pose and re-take a whole bundle of pictures. I thought that was really smart. :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1149014562170243972006-05-30T19:42:00.000+01:002006-05-30T19:42:00.000+01:00We have done a fair amount of animation using I Ca...We have done a fair amount of animation using I Can Animate. It's great fun but takes a fair amount of time to do anything substantial. Our Masterclass group spent a day with Oscar Stringer larning how to use it in the classroom. The resources Oscar was able to share with us were brilliant for using in the classroom. <BR/><BR/>There is free PC software that you can dowload from http://www.clayanimator.com. It is called Stop Motion Animator. It is fairly basic but does the business. One weekend I set it up with a simple digital camera on a tripod with some lumps of plasticine. My ten year old daughther then spent the rest of the day completely absorbed in creating her own story.Gordon McKinlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368986277791607721noreply@blogger.com
