Give me an M Give me an O Give me an N ore just give me MonkeyJam.

MonkeyJam is the program we use to capture pictures to the animation we make. It was recommended By Ruth-Helene Melioranski - Nukufilmi Lastestuudio, from Tallinn at a seminar in Tampere 2005 and I have used it sins that. It’s a free program but if you think that it is worth paying fore, you can support it by Donating. We do not use all the features that the program is capable to, but it is good and simple to use for children when it’s been set up by an adult.

We use MonkeyJam to make stopmotion animations. First we must create new exposure sheet. Then we start the video capture window. You can see the background and a mowing picture on the screen. the capture button takes the pictures.

The computer we use.

The animations are made and edited with an computer as seen in earlier blog text "new animators" we use an stationary computer provided by the organization we are working under.

The computer has 80GB hard drive to store the pictures and animations on. Video card hmmm nothing to mention. We hope it copes with the animation making and lots of rendering.

 

We hope to get an optimal computer fore animating and other equipment to enjoy the ready animations in the future. Animations can be made with simple means and a lot of imagination.

The computer is connected to a web camera that is suspended over the background that lays on the table. The mouse button is used to capture the pictures.
