Hey guys... my birthday is coming up and im hoping to get a new laptop...
Im also hoping to get a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000... what do you guys and gals think would be the best laptop, for brickfilms... and 1 more thing i have a Canon Rebel Xsi... what would be more efficient, that or the Quickcam Pro 9k???
Idk whatever my parents are willing to spend... i just need ideas
and 1 more thing i have a Canon Rebel Xsi... what would be more efficient, that or the Quickcam Pro 9k???
One full stop is enough thanks.
Yes a Canon Rebel Xsi is a fantastic camera. A webcam would be a serious downgrade. Try and snag some macro lenses and a nikon adaptors and lenses.
What would you advise me to use for software... i hate monkeyjam... because when you import photos, it takes forever to process the preview...
If you are able to chalk up 180 bucks get Stopmotion Pro Action HD It is an equivalent of Dragon without some of the features day to day animators do not use and cheaper as well.

One more thing... my family has an imac... so what your saying... is that i should take my pictures... import them onto my Imac... edit and do all that good stuff... and then put it into Stopmotion Pro Action HD???
Oh I didn't realize you have a Mac, in that case, if you are able to run Windows on it (in Bootcamp, Parallels, etc) then that is the only way you will be able to get Stop Motion Pro to work on your computer. But the one thing I don't understand is, why were you looking to get a 9000, if you have a Mac? They don't work together.

Well im hoping to get a new laptop... the mac is like our family computer
Why a QCP 9000?

Also, quality wise, MJ is better than Stop Motion Pro. SMP pixelates your camera quality a little bit, where MonkeyJam keeps your original quality all the way!
Laptops are the way to go though, for an animation computer. And Windows 7 is great for animation, fyi.
Honestly if you can I'd say try to get a mac book.

Not true, this is only for the Junior Editions, Action! HD gives full resolution and widescreen (unlike monkeyjam)

Ok... so what would be the best laptop to go with?
