Penguin Parenting * Stop Motion Pro video teaching about nature

It's versatile, easy to figure out, and includes the very fun
Green Screen feature.

StickDraw simple animation - a great place to start!

Animation with a simple and free app
like  "StickDraw" 
allows you to create amusing transformations.  "Blobette" represents the infinite 
possibilities of change.  Music was added by importing my animation into Adobe Spark.
