Stop motion (also known as stop frame) is a animation technique in which physically manipulated objects appear as if they were moving.
Although creating stop motion animation is not difficult, it is time-consuming, repetitive and requires patience. For inspiration please check out this iPhone 4 Disassembly (Stop Motion) video on YouTube.

Hi.
Fine apps all of them, but one app is absolutely missing talking Stop Motion: “iAnimate Pro”. This app is a big leap forward into the real possibilities of the iPad https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ianimate-pro/id512323430?mt=8:
In this app you can assemble your own puppets with moving parts out of your own images in your iPad photo album. After that you can easily animate them in the app, moving the puppets and moving the parts of the puppets frame after frame, Stop Motion. Afterwards you can export every animation as a movie to photo album and post it for social sites as youTube, Vimeo or Facebook.
Think of the amazing Lotte Reiniger puppet animations. Or think of Park south animation.
Kind regards Lisbeth
