TrixieB Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My kids want to do stop-motion animation with their Playmobil. I have no idea what they need to own in order to do this -- camera, software, ??? But I am sure the Hive will know! Also, any sites with how-to information are greatly appreciated!

Beth S Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Our boys said: They just use a digital camera and Windows Movie Maker (comes free on Microsoft computers. And hours of time. They use about 7 or 8 frames per second. And it takes half the time to take all the pictures, and half the time editing them on the computer. Here's one son's Lego version of a BBC Robin Hood adventure: Here's older son's Lego Chess Battle: It's a great Boy Hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My kids use iMovie, which came on my MacBook Pro, and just a regular digital camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 JMCremps is selling a kit and books for stop-motion movies. I seriously considered it for mine this Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloversandlions Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My dd8 is taking a class on Lego stop-motion movies; next session will be with clay. After I read Moxie's post above, I downloaded the app and she's thrilled to try it out at home. So - thanks, Moxie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
