You have an entire recording, editing, and publishing environment, right there on your iPad. When used in combination with iMovie for iOS, iStopMotion becomes even more powerful. Used by itself, you can create simple, but impressive stop motion or time-lapse movies, enhanced by the ability to delete frames and control frame rate. That's impressive considering this is the first release of this ambitious app, and we should see further enhancements up the road. Over the years, as technology has advanced, it has become easier than ever for anyone to. IStopMotion for iPad earns a Nimbleosity Rating of 4. Stop motion has been around since the dawn of animation itself.

I'm going to discuss this process more in next week's TDS Podcast. There are three resolution options for export, including HD.įor 'The Overlook,' I saved scenes to my Camera Roll, then opened them in iMovie for iOS to stitch them together and add the finishing touches.

Once you have the movie to your liking, you can add a soundtrack from your music library and upload it to your Camera Roll, YouTube account, or share via email. Other helpful features include onion skinning, exposure setting, and grid lines. If you notice a few images you don't want in there, they can be deleted individually by tapping on the wrench icon. I typically watched the movies at 12, 15, 24, or 30 fps. Once you've recorded your images, you can play them back at a variety of frame rates. You have control with the duration using this software. I typically shot one frame every 3 seconds when using just the iPad 2, or switched to one frame every 6 seconds when using the iPhone 4S on WiFi.

You have three shooting options with the software: front iPad camera, back camera, or via WiFi with the iPhone 4S (using the free companion app, iStopCamera.) I used the back camera for recording 'The Overlook,' but also tested the iPhone 4S camera via WiFi for making this stop motion movie. The excellent battery life for the iPad, and iStopMotion's judicial use of it, allowed me to record over the course of an entire afternoon, into twilight, without having to recharge. I put the iPad in a studio clamp with rubber protectors, then mounted it on a Joby Gorillapod Focus with Ball Head X and launched iStopMotion. To test the nimbleosity of this app, I set out to record, edit, and publish a time lapse movie using just the iPad 2. 'The Overlook' - recorded with the camera on an iPad 2 with iStopMotion, then finishing touches added in iMovie for iOS. I've been testing the beta version of iStopMotion for iPad ($4.99 in the App Store), and I can tell you right now.

And now, thanks to Boinx Software, it's easier than ever to create stop motion and time lapse video with just an iPad 2. Accessible time lapse photography is a gift of the digital age.
