Complete HD Stop Motion Animation Kit | Stop Motion Animation Software with Full HD 1080P Camera, Animation Software & Book (Windows & OS X)

I'll keep the review plain and simple...- It's easy to use! (my 10yr old made his first movie in about 30 min)- It's got very good on-line videos / tutorials- The app is really good at showing you where the last frame stopped, and highlighting how much you're changing- It's easy to delete / replace a frame where you maybe messed up (left your hand in place or something)- It exports very easily to a number of different formatsA couple of additional comments...- The camera seems to be robust enough for kids to not break it- The book that comes with it is more about stop motion movies, and movie making than about the software or camera (these are easy to use)- If you don't have a CD / DVD ROM drive don't despair... you can download the software / drivers from their website.Finally... it's meant for kids to play and get introduced to Stop Motion... it is NOT meant to make the next Hollywood Block Buster (although who knows?!).Overall I would definitely recommend it!

This software is easy to set up and use. My 10 year old has been using his old tablet to make stop motion videos and this is a huge improvement for him! He is able to easily log on and take higher quality pictures and turn them into film much easier. There are fun sound effects and lots of tips in the book. It came with a CD to download the program but luckily offered an online download too, as the laptop he is using has no CD drive.this just made it even easier! Overall, a great product, well priced for what you get, and very easy to use for my 10 year old!

Didn't wow my son but he definitely like making videos with it. It take a few tries to get the disc to worm properly in Apple computers but works perfect in hp computer first try. The camera quality is ok but for $60 its great for beginners.

I think this looks pretty cool. Bought for a 16yr old that never even opened the box.

I bought this for my boys (7 and 9) at the time 2 years ago for Christmas. It is STILL their favorite stop motion. They read the book over and over because it is so packed full of useful tools. It isn't just the basics either. It definitely continues to push their stop motion to the next level. The only thing is that after 2 years the camera has broken but honestly for the money, the cd and book are worth it alone! I see the 2 years we've had this camera and the fact that it survived daily hourly use in a house with 5 little kids and it honestly has outlasted every other toy they've had. So that in my book is a miracle. Buy it...it's a great gift that is techy enough for this generation but still develops the creativity and patience this generation often lacks! LOVE IT!

This was not a new item. Box was opened and item obviously repacked to be returned. This was a previously sold and returned item that was resold as new.Update... It became even more disappointing when we tried to download and install the software. The camera has no driver and isn't recognized by our Windows pc laptop.Good idea with this product but absolutely zero thought has gone into execution.

We bought this for our son's 12th birthday. He loves it! Previously, he was using an app on the iPad, but this has taken his stop motion Lego movies to a whole new level. We especially like the very clear and useful Quick Start Guide which allowed him to be fully operational in less than 30 minutes. The program allows him to incorporate music, sound effects, voiceovers, introductions, credits, and of course stop motion videos...and all in one very friendly user interface. The book has tons of illustrations and step-by-step instructions making it a great fit for the beginner and a useful tool for the more advanced. The book is also laid out in a very clear and logical manner so it's easy to navigate the pages to find what you're looking for without wasting time thumbing through hundreds of pages. This was a clear WIN for his birthday and is providing the exact tool he needed to take his fledgling movie producer career to the next level! Thanks!!!!

I purchased this for my 7 and 10 year old boys. They have already made a couple of movies with it and have plans for many more. We're definitely going to get our moneys worth in terms of hours of entertainment.The SW is pretty easy to use. It's easy for both of my boys to take frames, but as far as putting them together into a movie I usually have to get involved. But that's not very time-consuming.The included book and quick-start guides are helpful.The camera is decent quality. You are going to need a stable place to mount it to make good movies.Customer support is great. I had an issue with the camera and sent StopMotion Explosion an email on a Sunday afternoon. I got a response within an hour, and a new camera within 4 business days. Service like that counts for a lot in my book.Bottom line: My kids enjoy this product and I feel like I got my money's worth.
