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.

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.

To put this in perspective, I have two sons and the younger one received this for X-mas. The older one received all the parts for a gaming computer that we had to put together. We put together the gaming computer and had little or no difficulties. We did have one stick of RAM that was a problem but got that figured out pretty quick. On the other hand, this product has been a terrible experience. First of all, the DVC/CD that came with it wouldn't "auto start" on any of our computers. My only guess is that it is defective or won't work on Windows 10...probably the first. Shouldn't be a big deal, just download the software. However, unlike most places these days, you can't simply download the software. You need a software license. Figured out that there is a number on the back of the book that will allow you to get a software licence online. Did that, downloaded the software and figured I was good to go but no. When you load the software it asks for the license number again. Put the one in that i just received and wouldn't work. Had to contact customer service and get a "off line" licence number because they had a server down or something. But...you just couldn't put it in because the software won't prompt you for a "off line" license unless your computer is truly off-line so i had to disconnect from our WiFi to get that option. Did that and finally got the software after an hour+ worth of frustration. After all of that, I plugged in the camera and got an error message even though it is supposed to be plug & play. Tried it on three different computers and got the same message. Apparently the camera is defective. Spent another hour interacting with customer support via e-mail when it is clear the camera is defective. I saw this product working at a science fair and know my son would love it but really disappointed that the company apparently needs to study up on quality control and consumer software management. I will say that the support people have been responsive and I will update this review if we ever get a working camera.
