HUE Animation Studio: Complete Stop Motion Kit (Camera, Software, Book) for Windows/macOS (Green) with Carry Case

I have been wanting to try my had at stop motion for a while. All these ideas that I have but have never got around to trying.I saw that this is mainly aimed at children and schools, but works fine on my laptop. You get the program to load onto your computer, the camera (in a verity of colours to chose from) and even some different coloured plasticine so that you can make your own characters!The camera is on a flexible neck so you can get different positions. It does not have the zoom capability (you actually have to move the camera closer to the item! Cheek.) but you can focus it. I know that sounds obvious, but you never know with these things.It takes a bit of time to load it on, then you have to go to their website and authenticate your purchase, then you get the full (I think) programme.It is reasonable easy to set up once all is done, plug in the camera, load it up using the short cut and off you go. I will admit that ut is annoying that every time that you load it up it defaults to my webcam for the camera, but under "Camera" at the top you just select the Hue camera and there it is.The programme itself is very basic. You have a verity of colours (all of 6!) to edit the finished movie, one frame at a time by the way, but if you are just doing very basic stop motion, or stop motion that you done want to edit then this one is fine.It does have a recording capability when editing so you can add voiced or sounds effects to the finished item if you so wish.All in all this is a great way to get into stop motion. And with the huge amount of free video editing software available on the new then you can just move your movie made on this software into them, and edit them with more cutting edge techniques.I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who would like to get into stop motion. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hue animation is brilliant. It is a complete package - camera, animation program and easy to follow book of exciting ideas.I am a professional animator and use HUE for workshops with children and adults, and sometimes just to set up and do timelapse animation our of my window or to test an idea quickly at home. It is very simple to pick up and use straight away and extremely good fun. I would recommend it to families (both of my nieces LOVE it and their parents play with it at night), or for anyone else young or old, with an interest in animation or with an idea to make a film.This is the perfect place to begin playing

I tried to help an 11 year-old grandchild attempting an animation project by putting together different applications available cheaply on the web or packaged with Windows but the end result was terribly complicated, badly connected and difficult to use with lots of opportunity for the whole thing going wrong and result in discouragement. The Hue Animation Studio is not cheap but it is a straightforward joined-up system which overcomes all of the above difficulties brilliantly. The 11 year old had everything up and running with an animation scene and titles created within an hour or so of opening the box with no help at all. Together with another 11 year-old and some low-voltage shelf lights and improvised scenery he embarked on a blockbuster project and the two boys were happily absorbed for hours. Thoroughly recommended. A second set since purchased for the other 11 year-old!

Great camera, fast delivery, still figuring out how the program works, but it's an awesome camera, this is better than using a tablet/phone, too bad you can install the program on one computer, the program is a bit trickey to use, i use a mac book air for this and it's an amazing camera.

I gave the Hue Animation Studio as a present to my daughter for Xmas after reading nice reviews. Activation was really awkward and would not take the code. I tried to update the software and still the registration was not made. I cleaned it all from the registries and installed the lateset version directly and this time it took the code I was emailed. I guess the average person who does not work in IT would have to rely on their support... not very friendly first approach to the new present.Finally we could use the software but was crashing every 2 or 3 minutes. To continue with it we needed to close the application and reopen it. For a 20 sec animation it took 2 hours and a lot of frustration. Thinking it was my laptop fault I then installed the software on a brand new Windows 7 laptop with an i5 processor, 6GB RAM, an amazing amount of space and a dedicated graphic card and still the same issue. Software bombs out if left unattended for 1 minute or you can use it for 2 minutes!!!!Seeing how frustrated my daughter was I then decided to look for a free application. I tried loads but only one was really cool and working properly: "JellyCam" thanks to ticklypictures.I then decided to write to their technical support and explained all the ins and outs with very detailed information hoping someone would have had the decency to give me at least a samll suggestion: 10 days after and still no email or any contacts whatsoever.As it stands the camera is good, software clearly has got a major bug, money taken and no support given. This is a daylight robbery. Shame on you.

I initially had difficulty due to some technical problems, but once I got through to the online support, I was helped efficiently and my problem was resolved. The software was really easy for my kids to learn how to use it and they are really enjoying making videos!I highly recommmend

Mise a part que pour trouvé le logiciel francais faut faire des recherches vers google et sinon elle fonctionne tres bien si tous dépend l'animation Studio téléchargeable sur le site du constructeur est gratuite en indiquant le code se trouvant en anglais uniquement sur le site en question de la marque, la caméra HUE non PRO n'a aucun logiciel mais dois aussi s'inscrire gratuitement et si il veule le livre et application cela est payant , sans quoi elle fonctionne tres bien

A chi piace fare editing questo oggetto non può mancare.....Molto divertente

I did a lot of research before buying this for my 11 yr olds birthday (which was yesterday so I missed the return window). The camera does not have an auto focus and the focus on the front of it is impossible to use. Even I struggle with it as its hard to grip, and then it moves and you need to start over again.I would return it if I could. Keep looking!!

Gioco che permette di apprendere la tecnica dello stop-motion divertendosi. Regalo per i figli, molto gradito e usato per alcuni anni. Ideale se collegato ad un computer portatile. Collegato ad un fisso il cavo ne limita l'area di utilizzo.
