Abduzeedo.com is doing great at the time. We get more good posts and users daily. Thats why we sometimes have to give something back to our users. This time we give away 2 full version of iStopMotion 2 Express each worth 100 $.
Just in case you don't know what i'm talking about:
"Stop-Motion is a film-technique that makes a physically manipulatted object appear to move on its own. The object is moved by extremely smallamounts while every frame is being photographed."
I am working with iStopMotion for quite a long time and i think it's one of the best programs ever made for doing StopMotion art, especially the second version. I don't know how I got interested in this style of filming but it's very simple actually. I want to show you 2 movies i did with this programm:
Adventures of Santa Claus (StopMotion) from Alexis Papageorgiou on Vimeo.
Paperboy from Alexis Papageorgiou on Vimeo.
Remember how you watched, fascinated, when King Kong climb the Empire State building? When Luke Skywalker rode the ice beasts? When Wallace and Gromit hunted down the Were-Rabbit? For centuries now, stop motion animation has made the fantasies of film makers come true.
Now it's time to tell your story, frame by frame
iStopMotion 2 Express offers you most of the same professional animation tools that allow the pros to make the most amazing music videos, ads, TV shows and even feature films at a reasonable price. Create animations with resolutions of up to PAL/NTSC.
The great thing about this programm is that its very easy to use and has a lot of features like the chroma key where you can blend out the background just with one click.
HOW CAN YOU GET ONE OF THE PROGRAMS ?
Just leave a comment in this article what you would like to see on Abduzeedo.com in the future. Be creative, the winner will be announced next week in the comments.
