About FrameByFrame software

This is an example of what the FrameByFrame software looks like. I have a webcam that I am planning to attach to my computer and then I will strap the webcam to a tripod over my desk and use paper characters to make my animation. FrameByFrame works by taking a picture and putting it into a sequence, it uses something similar to "onion skin" effect in Adobe Flash CS3 where you can see the last movement made in a more opaque view. From this, you can make slight changes to the image, moving it slightly so that when lots of movements are played together in a sequence, it appears as if its moving by itself. FrameByFrame lets you export your animation in many different formats, we will export it into a quicktime format and put it into iMovie HD where we will then add audio and narration and there we will be able to edit it if need be.
