In days-gone-by if you wanted to broadcast professional looking video interviews on the TV or Stream to the internet, you had to fork out big bucks for equipment and software. This ability was out of the reach of the average person. But now with BoinxTV, a computer, and a DV video recorder anyone can have their own TV studio and create professional looking videos

If you are a professional or an avid amateur film maker, you probably own high-end editing software like Apple’s Final Cut Studio. But if you are a hobbiest who makes the occasional movie, you probably don’t want to spend the big bucks for editing or special effects software. Now with iMovie and the Elasty HD software you can have the next best thing for a reasonable price. What is Elasty HD? It is a program that lets you manipulate your movie in quite a few different ways...

...Fortunately, there are ways for budding film-makers (children, college students, etc.) to make their own stop-motion animations and at a fraction of the cost that the big- time producers pay for their stop-motion animations. I am referring to the iStopMotion program from Boinx Software....

Morph Age.pdf (475.42 KB)

abstract:

Morph Age is a program that will Morph images together - similar to the morphing faces in Michael Jackson’s Black and White video. In addition, Morph Age will Warp (deform) a single image - treating it like clay that can be pushed and pulled to distort its image. The resulting morph/warp can be saved as a still image or as a QuickTime movie. BTW: The Pro version will also let you morph between two QuickTime movies.
