NFB (National Film Board) recently launched PixStop, a versatile, intuitive app that makes it easier than ever to shoot and score your very own stop-motion animation film. Designed for the iPad 2, the PixStop app captures as many as 10,000 images to create mini masterpieces up to 13 minutes long. Novice-friendly features, helpful tutorials and intuitive controls make this the perfect tool for first-time stop-motion animators and a great mobile tool for more advanced users too.
This Creative and educational app comes with a kid-friendly interface and 3 short tutorials and a sample movie to get you started. It comes with features like- you can add cool music from your iTunes library, adjust the speed of your film in an instant, delete images with one touch, and personalize with titles and descriptions for easy reference, export to your camera roll and share with your friends on YouTube or by e-mail.
The clip below is made using PixStop by NFB Hothouse alum and full-fledged animator Sylvie Trouvé.
