The Whiteboard Blog : Stop Motion Filming with JellyCam The Whiteboard Blog
JellyCam is a simple, free piece of software to allow you to make stop motion videos using a webcam. You can download JellyCam for free here. As a complete beginner, I found it very easy to use. There’s very little in the way of whistles and bells. You hit the space bar to take another frame, and the software allows onionskinning so you can get an idea of how the new frame relates to the last frame. You could use this with a webcam, a visualiser, or upload still photographs taken with a regular digital camera. JellyCam produces a Flash Video file (flv) from your movie and even links straight to YouTube so that you can upload your finished video. Here’s something I put together in about 5 minutes after installing JellyCam. You’ll need Adobe Air to be able to install it. Thanks to Angie at Edit Training for tipping me off to this software.

I can see kids writing their own scripts, interpreting the scripts of others, demonstrating character development, answering post-Seminar questions in a collaborative setting, and hundreds more ideas. In their own words, “Xtranormal.com is a web-site powered by Xtranormal’s text-to-movie™ platform—a web-based application used to create short 3D animated movies from simple text-based movie-scripts.

For week 7 of my “Technology 4 Teachers” course at the University of Central Oklahoma, I asked my students to spend at least ONE HOUR playing in Scratch and “creating something cool.” Another important thing I learned creating this project was to design for “initial conditions” from the start.
