Macworld published the annual Gear Guide: Part Two - Gadgets for Moviemakers and Nature Lovers and Jeff Carlson recommends iStopMotion: "It's cold outside, and you've exhausted every possible subject in your house. Time to unleash your inner Ray Harryhausen. With a digital camcorder, a few cans of Play-Doh, and Boinx Software's iStopMotion, you can make stop-motion movies reminiscent of Harryhausen's movie monsters. Create shapes, add a few toys, and film their interactions one frame at a time using iStopMotion's intuitive interface. Then dump the footage into iMovie for editing, and squoosh the Play-Doh into colored, swirly blobs."
