Animation Studio is a new and unique type of book that provides both a fun activity and teaches a new skill. Animation Studio includes props and backdrops for the animation that you will make, or you can also make your own. It is notable that you will most likely need adult help. Some tasks appear to be very easy; however in reality they are very complex. You will need some assorted supplies not listed on the cover of the book, such as a way to convert pictures to videos (I personally used Animatelt, a free app from the store on my Microsoft 8), a fairly high quality camera and an alternative light source such as a directional lamp to prevent glare and allow for better quality animations. Once you collect all the supplies and put in the effort, animation can become a unique and fun activity. I would recommend Animation Studio to readers of any age who aspire to have a career in films or other types of digital media and entertainment. The book is a magnificent source of data for a report or for other animation projects. I would rate this book 3 stars. Although it is a fun task animating, it took a few days to get one very simple fourteen picture animation completed , due to the specific supplies needed and effort required. Subsequent projects were much easier and quicker. It is entertaining to turn your imagination into animation!Review by Zander H., age 11, Mid-America Mensa
This looks like more than it is from the packaging. It was less than $6 used, (looked brand new) so I added it on with an animation studio package. The item was in brand new condition - unless it's missing contents, I was underwhelmed.It's basically just a pretty illustrated cardboard haunted house themed 'movie set' for making stop motion or other small puppetry animation. I didn't realize it had a specific theme. The handbook is a lushly illustrated (read: less content) 20 page booklet that doesn't have any really new ideas compared to the book that came with the USB camera kit we ordered separately.We also ordered Movie Maker, another similar 'kit' that has more ideas, more content, and works more as a supporting package for a USB camera/cell phone.I would skip this! Your kids will have more fun making their own movie set. This is also quite tiny, so might be harder for kids to do much with.
OK - not the greatest. The book that came with it has some great information on stop-motion animation. But, there's nothing to explain how to use the studio, which is tough for a 9-year old to figure out.
I purchased this item as a birthday gift for an 11-year-old boy who has recently been using his iPad and LEGOs to make stop-motion animation videos. The gift was a hit; he LOVED it! The price is very fair, and the product is great.
A fun and colorful kit that provides great ideas, backdrops and punch-out characters and props for your stop-motion or video production. Includes a fold-out stage set with multiple scene options. The Animation Handbook includes a wide range of director's tips, techniques, terminology, etc. for young aspiring animators.
The concept of this is too cool to pass up.I purchased it for my 8 1/2 yo grandson for Xmas. Thought he and his dad would have fun doing this together. Haven't heard word yet from them about it, but I think it's awesome.Both his parents are into graphic novels, graphic arts, digital design, etc... This seemed perfect for them as a family project.Appeared to be sturdy and well made.Recommended for creative kids with an imagination, and likes fun but creepy monsters.
Exactly as stated. So much fun to look through--I am using it in my class to teach my students stop-motion.
Just what my creative guy needed - very durable - really like this
