Perfect gift for junior filmmakers!

BySandra M. Wallaceon April 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I rated the Hue Animation Studio (HAS) 5 stars because it was a huge hit with my 10-yr.-old grandson. He had been trying to make stop action films using his IPhone but there was limited space plus it's not set up for that type of filming. I also got him several LEGO figures. Before the day of his birthday celebration was over, he was already on the computer setting up the HAS software. He has since made several short films. He loves it!

No problem for my 9yr old daughter. Great product!

ByTony E Shurteron January 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

The good:
It took me just a handful of minutes to install the software. Within the hour I had done my own dry run with the camera to understand the basics, gave my daughter a quick verbal how-to, and she had created her first stop motion video. EXCELLENT value for a kid who is interested in making stop motion movies. We really didn't have a use for the little chunks of clay or whatever that is... she is making movies of her American Girl Dolls and the high quality is truly surprising!

These are not deal-breakers! I would buy the camera again right away even if none of these items were improved. BUT -
1) Life would be easier if, when you plug the camera into the USB port, it shows up as the default. I'm sure there is a way to do that, but my own laziness has kept me from delving into settings to try to figure out if that's a possibility. All it takes is several clicks to select your camera every time you connect it, and my daughter seems to have no problem going through that so I'm not going to change her current MO lol.
2) The camera comes unplugged WAAAAYYYY too easily from the base. If you touch the camera you have about a 50% chance of breaking contact/communication and you have to multi-click to select the camera again. If you try to LIFT the camera by the neck instead of the base you are about 100% guaranteed to lose it. This means a lot of unnecessary re-selecting and clicking. Seems like any person's natural inclination is to lift it by the neck instead of the base...so I bet this is a common problem. If your kid doesn't need to ever reposition the camera, then this will not ever be something that you're aware of.
3) Might be nice if it was lighted. But not much of an issue.

HUE Animation Studio makes stop-motion easy and fun!

ByMarin Mommieson September 18, 2015

We've been experimenting with making stop-motion movies at home for a while, using tools like our DSLR and iPad, but HUE Animation Studio changed our filmmaking world! This complete kit includes everything you and your kids need to easily create your own stop-motion movies, including a 720p HD USB camera, software for Windows or Mac, and a guidebook. All you need to do is install the software, plug in the camera, and start animating. The camera, which has a built-in microphone, is mounted on a flexible gooseneck that allows you to aim it anywhere to get the perfect shots for your movie.

The software is simple and intuitive allows young filmmakers to get right to work. Simply set up your shot and press the space bar on your computer to take a picture. Set up the next shot, shoot another frame, and repeat as necessary. Sound effects and music are easy to add, and the frame editing tools let you draw in special effects or add backgrounds with the chroma key tool. There are some pretty sophisticated tools to play around with if you have the patience and inclination. The book included with the kit offers technique suggestions and movie making ideas and the HUE Animation website contains comprehensive instructions and lots of great tutorials and examples for inspiration.

Both my kids have had a lot of fun with the HUE Animation Studio, usually using LEGO minifigs. It's easy to use, convenient, and really allows them to launch right into creating their own stop-motion masterpieces! Highly recommended.

Best gift EVER

ByBatemanon June 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

I can't say enough about how this product inspires creativity in my daughter and her friends. They've done a few set ups with My Little Ponies but then she discovered she can edit on screen so she's been drawing on moving eyes and mouths. This has lead to animating on screen and taking pictures of the screen with this camera. Much fun. We did a unit on novel writing with the five basic elements of a story, so they are integrating the story elements seamlessly into play.

Made me the coolest aunt! And great service

ByJillywillycton April 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I gave this as a gift to my nine yearcold nephew, and he is loving it! Something to note....there is an important activation code that comes in the booklet. (Actually, I think I also got an email with it, but didn't realize what it was). Nonetheless, my sister needed this code to activate for my nephew, and the Hue team was extremely prompt in helping her out. My nephew is doing tstop motion in school now, and apparently this kit is much better than what they use there. All in all, a very successful gift from the Aunt who gives STEM / creativity gifts. THANKS Hue!

An Excellent Product

ByGerry Rzeppaon January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

This little system is great! Everything you need, and nothing you don't (which is equally important). Simple to set up, simple to use. My 11-year-old and I had our first video, with sound, complete in less than and hour. It would be better if you didn't have to "activate" the software with a secret code, though, and if it didn't require Apple's Quicktime for Windows to run (which is free). But all in all, a very good product.
