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.

In October 2006, artist Ming Wong led a stop frame animation workshop for adults at the Digital Media Centre at South Hill Park, UK, focusing on the creation of animation using 2D cut outs and drawn images.

Watch the examples and read what participants had to say at their gallery website.

Workshops on "Ink on Glass animation" and "Bas Relief" using molded wet clay are planned for 2007.

Nick Feisst from The Deadly Deaths, "restrained indie synth pop" band from Hamilton NZ, used iStopMotion to create the music video for the groups first single "See The World". There are nice pictures of the set and characters on his blog.

I'm using iStopMotion along with an iSight camera to do my movement tracking in the music video, and then using a digital SLR to take full resolution images.

Michael Capell and his team did an animation project for the NBA, animating the mascots of various teams in a wrestling match. Nice photos and a lot of background info from the production set as well as a couple of the animations can be found on his website.

Jeff Carlson made this time lapse movie of lillies while writing about iStopMotion for Macworld magazine. Found at Cracks in the Facade.
