I have been using an iPod touch to do stop-motion with my LEGO lately, and it is a very tedious, low-quality approach to making animated movies. So, although I haven't posted any of these clips, due to the lack of a YouTube account *yet*, I have been wanting to progress further and to a higher level with my films. I have extensively researched webcams, from Logitech, IPEVO etc - and for Microsoft Windows, there are some truly great options out there - but as a Mac user, the support of webcams is lacking to say the least. Another unsupporting factor is that all major camera companies, including Sony, Panasonic and Canon, have all switched their Camcorders to support the AVCHD format, as well as ditching FireWire; therefore leaving the outdated, yet useful for Brickfilmers, DV format in the dust. So there is now no live view 'modern' camcorders compatible with capturing software like Boinx iStopmotion or DragonFrame. To top it off, the the DSLR option is unaffordable for me right at this point in time...

So as a newbie, starting out in the world of Brickfilming with a Mac, it's quite challenging to get up and running. So I was wondering if the far more experienced members of this forum could compile, in the comments below, a list of what they use (cameras/capturing software/computers) in the comments below. Not only would this help me, but more importantly, it will allow people who are just starting up with Brickfilming to get a good idea of what the options are, and what they may need. So if it is possible, could some members contribute?

Thanks
