Istopmotion, but you need to create the artworks yourself (the items that are
animated) it doesn't do this for you, like say Marvin does. However, lots of
flexibility in what you can create, we have had a number of workshops where
small groups of individuals create people and animals in plasticine and paper,
spend a half-hour or so moving and photographing them, them adding a voiceover.
Quick and easy on the technical level, the hard work is in the artwork and
ideas (as it should be really).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

I would also be interested in the responses to this. Last year I attended two
'training' courses for Marvin but I'm still not sure it's worth the effort,
cute as it is. To get certain effects, eg NT Uncle singing along with a
few other guitarists I was advised it is necessary to make multiple videos and
import another character each time. And you lose the sync with the audio
and actions doing this. Also, other characters can't remain sitting while
another is singing etc. I felt it was still a work in progress that I'd
keep an eye on. A week or so ago it appeared that there have been some
updates but my email with some questions still remains unanswered. A good
idea but frustrating in my book.<br>
