iMotion is a time lapse and stop motion animation app available for free in the app store. Using its companion app (iMotion remote) you are able to use a second tablet or phone as a remote viewer to capture frames without the worry of your capture device moving out of place or suffering from shutter shake as you touch it.
Below is a short animation made by Emma and me using iMotion without the remote app. We are quite pleased with it but I can see that the use of the remote would have helped reduce the amount of movement in the animation. I had tried to source a clamp for the iPad but unfortunately couldn't find one!
We really enjoyed working with the post-it notes even though we opted for a cheap version that refused to stick to the desk. If I were to repeat this, perhaps with a class, I would definitely use a clamp, the iMotion remote app and genuine Post-it notes!
Here is the kind of animation we were aiming for. I'm not quite sure we achieved this level of expertise this time but we learned a lot in the process.
