 Small price for a lot of features. July 12, 2008

This product isn't beefy in the features department by any means, but it does have just the right amount of features for the price. I still wonder how well it will animate a rather long video, but I have yet the patients to create one.
Overall a great product for the price. I would strongly recommend owning a webcam for capture though, or if you have a little more budget a video camera hooked into your Firewire port would be best (Just more pricey and over-the-top for those younger animators out there).
I'd recommend this to parents who have kids that show creativity and maybe play to many video games. Get them involved in projects like this that encourage productivity with real rewards!
 Very user-friendly June 2, 2008

I am new to the creation of animation. I have always been interested in claymation but was unsure how it came together. This product is user-friendly and intuitive. As I created simple animations I began to understand the product more. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in claymation.
Fun & educational program for students February 11, 2008

I bought this program for my nephew who is a 5th grader. he was asking me to buy him a game console, but I thought this program would be fun and educational at the same time. However, he was not really into it initially, and I thought he might be too young to use this program. But I decided to show him what this program can do. I followed the instructions in the Quick Start Guide, and I set up a webcam and shot a few frames with his toys. I used his favorite wrestling toys and made a very short movie. After seeing the silly wrestling movie that I made, he wanted to try it himself. I visited him again about two weeks later, and I found out that he made about a dozen stop motion videos of his own. He's been bragging about his movies to his friends everyday, and now he and his friends are making their own movies together.
