iOS apps for brick flicking

[Zilcho]

Hey, I'm interested in making a brick flick. Since I'm not aiming to make a masterpiece, I'm going to use my iPhone 5 as it has a decent camera and I don't want to buy a new one.

Are there any apps which overlay the previous image, as that would make the process much easier.

Also does anyone know any good voice recording apps I can use to record my voice and the transfer to my of where I can edit that recording and the pictures together to make the brick flick.

I also would like to include sound effects for thin a such as, gun shots, cars etc. - does anyone know a good free source for these effects?

Thanks!

If you are going to try to not only record the video on your iPhone, but also edit the video... I find iMovie to be a good IOS video editor and it includes much of what you want. Free sound effects are built-in and others can be found by searching (Google is your friend). I never tried to record a voice over, but you should be able to record your voice then add it in during the editing process. I found many good tutorial videos on YouTube for editing with iMovie for IOS.

You can do all this and more with iMovie for Mac OS X, also, I believe MovieMaker for Windows OS should have many of he same features.

When I was trying to learn more about video editing I used Google and found lots of helpful info on YouTube.

I hope this helps...

when I started I used an app called "stop motion." It has the onion skin/overlay feature you are looking for, you can export the photos (they can be a memory hog) and also has a timer feature that helps reduce shake from manually taking the picture. Holler if you have any other questions. I'm not an expert but happy to help. Good luck

I use an app called "Stop Motion Studio." It's 99 cents but it's a really good app, has adjustable onion skin.

Im in the same boat with you. I filmed a video on my ipad using a app called frameograph which has onion skinning and several options. It was well worth the 5 bucks. But the best investment was the tripod holder. Here are the results....ok for a first try.

I used Stop Motion Studio last night for a short test and it was very nice. The basic app is free (when I downloaded it last night), but says free is "for a limited time". They have in-app purchases/upgrades which I don't find too horrible in this case because it lets me pick and choose what features to add instead of paying for everything when I dont need much of it. You can make a movie with just the free version of the app and it has onion-skinning and all that. I do recommend it.
