5.0 out of 5 stars Another Klutz classic 1 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover-spiral
We have lots of Klutz books and this rates as one of the best. Easy to follow guides to making clever animation films. Easy to download free software. Despite us not having a suitable webcam we were able to produce great quality films with a digital camera. Highly recommended and a great alternative pastime for children to endless video games.

4.0 out of 5 stars great, but a bit misleading... 21 May 2012
Format:Hardcover-spiral|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think the book is great, you can watch the videos on the internet to get a better idea on how the result will be.It gives great advice, it is creative etc.It is not only for kids, it can be fun for adults who are absolute beginners too.BUT, it promises us a free downloadable software.It took me only a few minutes to realize this is not the case...You have to buy the software.A totally misleading sentence on the cover of the book made me contact the company of this software and yes...you have to pay....However, it is a great book..

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun for kids and big kids! 4 April 2011
By Sooz333
Format:Hardcover-spiral|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved this book and spent time with the younger members of the family making their toys come to life...and then everybody wanted to join in...all sorts of objects were animated, it looks like it should just be for kids and the process and software is very easy to use, but actually kids are more sophisticated these days and they got to grips with it very quickly and preferred to use iMovie to output the results, but that said, on the whole people don't want to spend time reading a whole lot of stuff, you can pick this up and have an animation within hours.

If you want to know more or are just getting started with stop frame animation then buy this book .....a word of warning.... prepare to have a lot of fun!
