<div>Terri, have you tried using Monkey Jam? <font size="2">It is a freeware digital pencil test animation program for Windows with additional features that can be used for stop motion animation, clay animation etc.. </font>
Last term I made a cool stop motion video of some clouds rolling over the Dandenongs using files on my USB key and images captured with a cheap digital camera. As with all freeware, students can take Monkey Jam home for a play. The hard creative work of course is in their minds and hands .. its not a
</div>
<div>software feature. I have even seen an cool looking animation made with Windows Movie Maker :-)</div>

Is this suitable for this software?<br><br>If there is someone on this list who supplies the software, I am happy for<br>you to email me off the list.<br><br>Cheers, Terri.<br><br>_______________________________________________
