Going Thru My Second Childhood By Playing With Action Figures


We just produced a series of three video tutorials for a software product called Claymation Studio 2.0 from Honestech. It's a fun application that lets you easily create stop-motion animations using your PC and webcam. For the tutorial, I played with action figures. Then added backgrounds, dialogue, and sound effects.

This project was produced in HD format (1280x720) to take advantage of the higher-resolution videos now possible on YouTube. I also used Jing by TechSmith which allows you to do video capture of on-screen action like mousing, clicking, menus, and value selection.

Just who would win in an ultimate deathmatch - GI Joe or Gumby?
