The software I used for this was: - iStopmotion (Frame capture). - Gimp (effects). - iMovie (editting).
Camera was a Panasonic PV-GS320, framerate was 15 FPS.
The current animation that I'm working is is 24 FPS. That's also a classic space themed film. I'll post it on this site when it's ready, but don't hold your breath... Been working on that one since June and have use passed the 80% mark not the animation work...
