Anithings is a creativity tool which allows pupils to produce animated stories. Shortlisted for 2010 Educational Resources Awards

Description

Anithings is a creativity tool which allows children to produce animated stories. Children can design and create their own characters and settings or use ready made ones from the bank. Animations are made by changing objects properties such as position, size and colour or by recording motion using the mouse.

Animated stories can be created to link with any topic, be it Vikings, Pirates, Fairy tales or wherever your imagination takes you. The addition of speech bubbles to your characters enables a unique storytelling medium to enhance and build upon literacy skills. Add special effects to enhance your mini masterpieces or use the storyboard to plan an epic movie.

Please note that this product is delivered by email as a digital download with activation code.

Features

Character creation - Objects can be combined to create Anithings characters. Drop shapes on top of each other to build up faces with eyes, mouths etc. Snap objects together to make animated hinged limbs.

The bank contains a selection of ready-to-use characters which you can add your own creations to by simply dragging and dropping.
Storyboarding - Use the storyboard mode to plan your animated story. Add and arrange scenes, then choose backgrounds and characters.
Recording Motion - Simply press the Record button and move your characters. The movement will be captured and added to your animation.
Tweening - Animations can also be created by setting an objects properties. Simply drag the timeline slider to the required time position and move the object to its new position.

Other properties such as size, transparency, colour and rotation can be added in the same way.
Speech Bubbles - Bring your Anithing characters to life by using speech bubbles to help tell your story.
