Anybody with a computer, camera, internet connection and a little bit of creativity can create animated films for the masses with the new The Klutz Book of Animation ($19.95). This book is a great how-to-guide for anyone who wants step-by-step instructions for creating a variety of classic stop motion special effects akin to Wallace and Gromit and the dancing California Raisins.
The Klutz Book of Animation includes easy-to-follow instructions, ready-to-shoot scripts, and the required software is available as a free download that can used on either a PC or a Mac. It also comes with low-tech, non-toxic clay, that is ready to be formed into a million possibilities of creatures and characters who will star in your own films. Just provide your own video camera, computer, and a way to connect the two.
Take a look at the video we created here to get an idea of the animated movies you can create and enter the giveaway below!

ReplyDeleteProbably my favorite animated show is Futurama. That animated video you posted was cool.
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't over. I didn't see a closing date. I got lots of answers for this question. I would say Curious George.
