1. What is Stopmotion? Where can I get it?

Stopmotion is a program for creating stop motion animation movies from pictures you already have on your harddrive and from pictures you import live from a webcamera.

A stop motion animation is an animation which is built by taking many pictures of some object while moving it a little between each picture. When these pictures are run you get an animation.

You can download the lates version of Stopmotion from the Stopmotion webpage.
