We do stop motion in our digital art club w/ Claymation or any other type of stop motion effect. While imovie works great, especially imovie 08, Frames is a program made specifically for stop motion, and you can purchase a complete claymation kit for a very reasonable price <a href="http://tech4learning.com/frames/index.html">http://tech4learning.com/frames/index.html</a> I'll post some stop motion examples soon.

Thanks to everyone for all the links! I have asked this same question on a a couple other "tech" boards for computer teachers and many weren't even sure what I was talking about. yikes! I am not using a Mac, so I will be using Moviemaker to string the pics together. I guess I will just have to play with it a little this weekend. I found some great examples to show my class by searching "Claymation" on TeacherTube.com. I can't wait to get started and see what my kids can come up with!

Great discussion; great resources. Thanks for starting this, Karen! I'm going to give this discussion's link to the kids in my class so that they can explore the references. This is such a rich example of new education: people handing around tools and talking about them. (Hmmm... is that new, or is that old, as in ancient?) Powerful modeling for active learners. Learning that extends both outwards and inwards simultaneously, like learning a new language. (and beyond all that, it's fun!)

Oh<br />
The stopmotion software runs with a Webcam.<br />
Not sure about a digital videorecorder.<br />

HI<br />
I have done claymation using <a href="http://www.clayanimator.com/english/stop_motion_animator.html">StopMotion Animator</a> (a freeware) -- as noted by James -- and it works fine. If you use MovieMaker for editing, however, you may need a free Codec program to be able to import the raw video files. I use <a href="http://www.xvidmovies.com/info/">Xdiv</a> because, again, it is free and easy to install.<br />

<br />
And here is a guide I made for some teachers about the steps I followed: <a href="http://dogtrax.googlepages.com/animationcampoverview">http://dogtrax.googlepages.com/animationcampoverview</a><br />
<br />
One interesting way to get them engaged is to download and use <a href="http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stickfigure.html">Pivot Stickman</a> -- another freeware that kids LOVE to use and really shows them a frame-by-frame view of making a very small movie.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

Are you thinking stop animation or time lapse? If you're thinking the latter and using a mac, you can download <a href="http://gawker.sourceforge.net/Gawker.html">Gawker</a>, which turns your webcam into a time-lapse camera.
