Review by John Keitz

This program is an absolute blast to use! Think of creating your own Wallace and Gromit style movies. Of course, it is tedious, and time consuming (you’ll be amazed at how short your film ends up being after quite a bit of work), but it can be fun as well. The software is really easy to use, and it helps you along. For example, you can overlay the previous frame on your current one to make sure you didn’t move the LEGOs (or whatever your subject is) too far at one time. The final product is surprisingly professional.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that this doesn’t work with just any camera. You need certain camcorders or DSLR cameras (listed in the product description) or you can simply use the computer’s web cam. Of course, that means two major drawbacks. First, your built in webcam probably doesn’t offer you very many options in aiming the camera. Second, most built in webcams are very low resolution. So while you can shoot HD video with this, you can’t with your built in webcam. The end result is slick, but too low resolution for most needs.

In the end, this is five star software if you have the right camera, but four star software if you don’t.
