Easy Studio makes creating your own animations, er, easy. It’s not perfect, but at least it gets its core feature right – enabling kids to learn how to animate.
To create animation sequences, arrange various simple shapes on screen, tap a button to take a photo, and then tap and drag to move the objects slightly, and take another photo. The outline of an object’s original position remains on the screen as you move it, like a basic onion skin, so you can see how far it’s travelled. After you’ve repeated this procedure, you can play back your photos, and the result is a simple-but-effective animation.
The simple geometric shapes on offer also require some imagination, and the developers say it’s best targeted at children of ages six and upwards.
