Many years ago, the Skolelinux +/ Debian Edu project initiated a student project to create a tool +for making stop motion movies. The proposal came from a teacher +needing such tool on Skolelinux. The project, called "stopmotion", +was manned by two extraordinary students and won a school award and a +national aware with this great project. The project was initiated and +mentored by Herman Robak, and manned by Bjørn Erik Nilsen and Fredrik +Berg Kjølstad. They got in touch with people at Aardman Animation +studio and received feedback on how professionals would like such +stopmotion tool to work, and the end result was and is used by +animators around the globe. But as is usual after studying, both got +jobs and went elsewhere, and did not have time to properly tend to the +project, and it has been lingering for a few years now. Until last +year...

+ +

Last year some of the users got together with Herman, and moved the +project to Sourceforge and in effect restarted the project under a new +name, +linuxstopmotion. +The name change was done to make it possible to find the project using +Internet search engines (try to search for 'stopmotion' to see what I +mean). I've been following +the +mailing list and the improvement already in place and planned for +the future is encouraging. If you want to make stop motion movies. +Check it out. :)
