Is this you? Claim this kit →Hardware
A digital SLR-like camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ50.
I animate on a table and use plasticine clay as my actors - I prefer to use Newplast clay because you get a lot for your money and they have a great selection of colors.
Design
For helping me animate, I use Dragon Stop Motion (Now known as Dragonframe).
Media
When I record voices by myself, I quickly bang it out on Audacity.
Other
Windows Vista operating system, just because it came already on the laptop.
Quicktime Pro is useful for video encoding.
