NOWWASHYOURHANDS: Disassemble
Tuesday, January 02, 2007 - Permalink
"There is nothing worse than channeling hours of hard graft into the Mac sitting under your desk, only to be greeted with the non descript 'Fatal Error' message just as you are saving up for the day. The piece of equipment that regularly takes the flak for this event is the one closest to hand: the keyboard.
To emphasize the frustration and brutality often directed towards this simple input peripheral, and as our own exercise in anger management, we bring you the 'Disassemble' Issue. This passive journey through the insides of a keyboard reminds us of the fragile nature of this innocent bystander. So the next time Photoshop unexpectedly quits, spare a thought, breathe in and count to ten. Then calmly re-do the lost work. It'll be quicker the second time."

Childwall Valley Primary School ICT Inspirations
Friday, December 29, 2006 - Permalink
Taking the hint from Apple, Childwall Valley Primary School had its own ICT Inspirations:
Recently, the school hosted two animation training days at CVP. Animation encourages language, mathematical, logical, spatial, collaborative and creativity skills. Teachers were taken through the process of model making, creating story boards, filming animation, adding titles, transitions, music and sound effects.
They used iStopMotion, iMovie, iTunes and GarageBand.

Very cool: Printing on Demand for flipbooks.
Somehow this nicely complements the flipbook printing feature of iStopMotion. We are looking at integrating FlipClips nicely into iStopMotion.

Boinx iStopMotion 1.10.2 released
Wednesday, December 13, 2006 - Permalink
Just a short note, especially interesting if your Mac OS version number starts with 10.3: We just released a small maintenance update to iStopMotion carrying the most absurd version number 1.10.2. Yeah, it is 1.10.2, not 1.1.2, unfortunately we ran out of single digit decimal numbers a while ago...
Head over to the iStopMotion site for details and the download.

Great article at Apple about the Animation Academy at Loughborough University which is "a dedicated research and teaching facility committed to pushing the creative boundaries of animation, design and video production." They also use iStopMotion in their labs.
