My son would like to have a go at animation. He's taken a series of photos on our camera already but I have no program on my PC that will splice them in to a movie. As far as I know, anyway. I am pretty sure expensive programs such as Photoshop can be used, but can anybody recommend me a cheap and cheerful one that I could purchase that would get him on the way to becoming the next Nick Park?
My kids like making lego movies.
We use a webcam, PC running Ubuntu and a program called Stopmotion (free). They can add 'laser' effects.
At the kids schools they use Apple Macs and high definition cameras. Not sure what software they use.
Some of their early attempts:
