    • Not Just For Lego Animation
Color: Red
The Hue was purchased as a gift for my 12 year old son. He has spent quite a bit of time making videos, variously using his Nintendo 2DS, the webcam built into the laptop, and also my wife's I-phone. He used to spend a lot of time making Flip Notes on his DSI and loves to draw. When my son recently started using the 2DS to make stop motion videos with construction paper and collage cutouts, my wife and I looked into finding a better video camera. The 2DS is a small, hand held video game. The stop motion feature is nice, but the pictures are taken with the device always being held in my son's hands. This results in some shakiness and light variation in the final visual product. After looking at more expensive digital cameras, we settled on the less expensive Hue. I know a lot of the reviews for the Hue were about Lego animation, but it seemed this would work well for other stop motion animation and even cartoon drawing. My son used it right away. He made a couple of stop motion construction paper videos. When I asked him how it worked he said, "Good." He then elaborated that the software that came with the camera was helpful. It allows him to choose the frames per second speed and to delete single frames, one at a time, if he isn't satisfied with the image quality. It also has a sound editing feature. The 2DS does not have its own sound editing. Being an artist myself, I thought we could try an animation project together. I had drawn a birthday card for my father in pencil and I wanted it to be bolder so I planned to draw over the pencil with black pen. I thought it would be a fun way to test the camera myself by doing this in stop motion. The stop motion worked well. The camera is small and lightweight. It is at the end of a flexible stand. It is about the height of a small desk lamp, so we had to set it up on a couple of boxes to get the distance from the subject matter where we wanted it. My son clicked the mouse to take the pictures as I drew over my pencil lines with black pen in very small increments. After a while, we stopped and watched our video to see how it was turning out. We were able to adjust our amount of clicks per move and to adjust the frames-per-second speed to improve our results. We also jumped right back in where we had left off and began adding new material. The project turned out well visually. It appears as though a line drawing is being done by magic. Every so often when my son clicked the mouse the computer would lag, but I think it was due to our computer's memory being nearly full. I am looking forward to adding sound and doing more animation projects with my son! There are many other features I would like to explore. ... show more

    • Just what we wanted
Color: Red
After a few bumpy attempts to get this camera working, we couldn't be more pleased. The problem had to do with the USB connection as the PC (Win7) on which it is used had an internet access dongle attached to the adjoining port and apparently the two were crossing wires somehow or using too much horsepower. When the camera was plugged into a port on the back of the computer it worked fine. The software installed on the second try--the first problem may have also been due to the internet connection giving out because of the camera being installed next to the dongle. You do have to register the software online to get full use of it (otherwise only 30 day trial) and it's for one computer only. The software is very easy to use and intuitive so there is really no learning curve. We especially wanted this camera because of the shadow box we are using to film our 'movie'. In order to get the right lighting and angles we needed a camera with flexibility and this one does the trick. We can position it as we need due to the long flexible neck which then stays as it's set for multiple frames until we change its position. There are other extras in this kit, but nothing we needed for our movie. We just needed the flexible camera and the software and are very satisfied with both. Having not used other software of this type I can't compare it, but it seems to offer decent editing capability, allowing you to drop or re-position frames, etc. You can take the pictures via the button on the camera itself or the keyboard/mouse, which we preferred so as to not move the camera when we didn't want to. I'm glad it worked out because I didn't see any other options that didn't cost a fortune or were basically toys. Because of the shadow box where the movie scene is, using a camera on the computer itself wasn't an option for us. We are satisfied with this purchase. ... show more

    • Check Specs to see if it will work with your computer
Color: Red
I didn't look closely enough at the version of Mac that the software runs on...which are only runs on super out-dated (32-bit) Mac OS'es. So I had the frustrating experience of not being able to install the software. Eventually, I gave up and emailed customer service. They responded quickly and gave me a license for Stop Motion Studio (who they have partnered with). So all is well! There wasn't anything in the printed materials that came with the camera or anything online (that I recall), that would have directed me to download Stop Motion Studio instead, so overall having to contact customer service to get from point A to point B isn't great, but I'm glad we're up and running. ... show more

    • Great for Kids - Install Software before Giving as a Gift !
Color: Red
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and she loves it. That being said, this animation studio was not without it's foibles. While Hue states that all of their products are Windows 10 compatible, we had a problem downloading the required Quicktime application. Quicktime is not fond of Windows 10 and it will require a little searching of the web to work around this flaw and download Quicktime on your Windows 10 enabled system. Once we downloaded Quicktime, we had a lot of difficulty getting the laptop to recognize the camera. We had to disconnect the camera from its base and plug the camera neck directly in to the USB port. This allowed the laptop to recognize the Hue camera and then we could reattach the camera/neck to the base, attach the usb cord and use the camera as it was intended. So, it took a little bit of perseverance to get this up and running, and Hue's Support staff DID respond to my e-mail request in less than 5 hours (although, by then, we had fixed the problem). Once we got it going, my daughter and I had a wonderful time making little stop motion animation movies. She really loved making movies and it ignited her creativity. She is now thinking of all kinds of different movies to make. I highly recommend this to any parent of a child who likes to write stories or make movies. I would however, try and set it up on your computer before giving it as a gift. ... show more
