Description

HUE Animation Studio contains everything that a budding animator needs to create their own stop motion animation movies: a colourful HUE HD camera, a 64-page book full of tips, and stop motion software specifically designed for educational use.
For use at home or for school projects, HUE Animation Studio is a creative and educational pastime that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This perfect gift for kids encourages creativity and imagination. Whether you are making a LEGO® brick film, animating your own characters with claymation or capturing a flower as it blooms using time-lapse photography, you can bring anything to life in minutes with the easy-to-use software.

The kit includes:

  • The HUE HD camera, a flexible Plug and Play USB camera with built-in microphone. HUE’s innovative design is perfect for animation.
  • The fully-featured HUE Animation software designed for children by teachers.
  • The HUE Book of Animation, step-by-step instructions for creating 20 hilarious stop motion videos and ideas for even more. The videos, sound effects and backdrops are also included.

 

Children of all ages can create their own stop motion and time-lapse films. You can animate anything using stop motion techniques; drawings, toys, household objects and even real people.  Modelling clay is ideal as it can be shaped into anything, but if you want to try something more ambitious the only limit is your imagination!

Stop motion animation is a fun educational activity which encourages both creativity and imagination through the use of technology. It allows children to learn through balanced play and using the 21st century skills of creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Here are some free Activity Guides which teachers and parents can download at no cost, which guide them through the process of creating an animation, to learn about various topics such as The Water Cycle, Cycle of Seasons and Global Warming. HUE will be adding further activity guides during the coming months too so they can be built up to be a really useful set of guides.

What our testers said

“Look at my animation. It’s like it is drawing by magic!” – Girl aged 8

“I’m going to do a time lapse video of my gerbils digging and then I can add words on the screen like they’re talking!” – Boy aged 7

What our experts think

Children loved making their own videos, and experimenting with different methods such as using photos of themselves dancing, drawing pictures and modelling play dough.

The freedom of choice encourages children to be creative, and they can also use their imaginations to think up stories for their films. They can then narrate their films, helping children develop their speech and language skills.

It was also great to see children discussing how many frames per second would be best for their video, as this shows a developing interest in technology and filmmaking.
