Smoovie - The Stop Motion Animation App

I read about this app at TUAW, and even though it's targeted at children (hey, aren't we all just big kids?) it looked like fun and I love stop frame stuff so I thought I'd post it.

The 'must have' app for making stop motion animations on iPad. Loved by families and educators around the world, Smoovie is the only stop motion animation app to combine precision editing and multiple scenes with instant playback.

Mac Life said "Smoovie's ease of use makes stop-motion animation a joy and filmmakers and families alike should have fun bringing inanimate objects to life for hours on end."

** Smoovie requires an iPad with a camera **
