The Klutz Book of Animation Blog Tour with Giveaway

By

Anybody with a computer, camera, internet connection and a little bit of creativity can create animated films for the masses with the new The Klutz Book of Animation ($19.95). This book is a great how-to-guide for anyone who wants step-by-step instructions for creating a variety of classic stop motion special effects akin to Wallace and Gromit and the dancing California Raisins.

The Klutz Book of Animation includes easy-to-follow instructions, ready-to-shoot scripts, and the required software is available as a free download that can used on either a PC or a Mac. It also comes with low-tech, non-toxic clay, that is ready to be formed into a million possibilities of creatures and characters who will star in your own films. Just provide your own video camera, computer, and a way to connect the two.

Take a look at the video we created here to get an idea of the animated movies you can create and enter the giveaway below!

Giveaway: Klutz is giving one lucky Tech Savvy Mama reader the opportunity to win a prize pack that will include The Klutz Book of Animation and Tricky Video, Draw Star Wars, and Rubber Band Powered Flying Machines! This prize pack is valued at $79.80!

    The kids think “duck duck poop” is hilarious from The Klutz Book of Animation (youtube.com).
    As for cartoon animation, Phineas and Ferb wins hands down in our family.

    I hope this isn’t over. I didn’t see a closing date. I got lots of answers for this question. I would say Curious George.
