My kids and I are knee deep in a video project which includes green screen filming and animation. In my research to determine what our options are for animation, given the tools we already have (namely Mac gear) and given that I have absolutely no background in video or animation, I came across this program:

iStopMotion for iPad.  Given all that it does and the world it opens up for creativity, it is a steal at it’s $9.99 price. And while we are not using stop motion animation for the current project, I do not regret for a second purchasing this app.

It works with iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac to make the process of stop motion simple enough for a child to do.

I couldn’t locate the lego animation my kiddos made for you to see a sample, but head to their website to see a few samples on their site.

For a fun summer endeavor for your kids, or to feed the interest in the arts, iStopMotion is a great, inexpensive tool for the whole family.
