A friend visited my office recently with his son of about 7 or 8 years. We wanted to have a cup of coffee to catch up, so I tried to think of something the lad could noodle with on the computer while we were talking. But I don't have the best nose these days for the sensibilities of an 8 year old.
Then I remembered Puppet Tool, and with a bit of Googling brought it up. It worked.
Puppet Tool is you-control-the-parameters animation. There are many similar projects on the web, but this is one of the most evolved. And because the constituent elements are photographic, it has a particular fascination. Have fun.
