Crayola Color Alive Easy Animation Studio

Crayola Color Alive Easy Animation Studio
Best Creative Fun
Tillywig Award Winner 2015

Crayola

Easy Animation Studio extends Crayola Color Alive's ability to bring drawings to life by giving kids full control over their animation via a repositionable mannequin included in the set. After coloring in a favorite character and scanning it into the free app, kids control the digitized character's movements using the mannequin. Because the app automatically fills frames between poses, it only takes a few positions of the mannequin to generate a smooth-motion animated video of the character kicking, waving, dancing, and more. Kids can choose from a library of colorful and exotic backgrounds, characters, and animated sequences or create their own. The set includes 12 Twistables Colored Pencils, a 30-page Design Booklet with characters and backgrounds to color in and scan, and a Device Stand and Mannequin Stand that make it simple to set each shot up exactly the way you want it. Kids can easily add sound and dialogue to their creations and save and replay those videos to their heart's content.
