So it's confession time. Prior to middle school, in the hallowed era of the 1990's, my brother and I would stage elaborate plays with our action figures for our own amusement. However amazing these scenarios may have been, they have been lost to the ravages of time. iStopMotion has always given a chance to bring still objects to life like the imagination of your childhood, and version 3 is the best version yet!
To enter, just tell us what kind of project you'd love to make!

I am an undergraduate student, going into grad school next year. I am big into research, and also recently started gardening (succulents, basil, peppers, cucumbers - fun!). When I bought my first vegetable plant I would just stare at it WILLING for it to grow faster. I would love to do a time lapse to see my veggies and plants growing in fast time. I also would love to be able to fuse this project with science somehow. I could experiment with plants and time lapse them to see how my changes effect them.
Also, growing up I was obsessed with Wallace and Grommit. I loved how they would eat the moon cheese.To make a claymation would totally revamp my creativity - I usually just stick to painting as my medium, but claymation would be so much fun to try!
Thanks for the chance!

My daughter who is in the third grade gifted class is looking to make a stop motion movie. She will be entering this in the local universities technology fair. If I don't win this free copy I will be purchasing a copy anyway. However, free would be nice.

I'd create and write a stop-motion series using the Office Cubicle characters, zombies included, and have it voiced professionally by voiceover talent I know, myself included. =)

I'll create a Lego Epic with my boys! (They prefer Bionicles, but I like the traditional figures.)

I'd make it available to our local primary school who are leading in blogging in our area, so they can add animations of their projects.

I've been updating my LEGO collection and I plan to make a creative, non-cliche, super compelling drama.

My 7 year old daughter loves doing these creative types of things. She would probably do a project involving her stuffed animals and dolls.

When I was growing up there were three or four tv channels. On Sunday, the only kid's programming, was this painful, incredibly badly-made stop action animation show, "Davey & Goliath". For reference, just go to youtube and search "Davey & Goliath".
Yes, there have been parodies made...but not by me!
I'd like to do justice to this show that still makes me shudder when I think about it.
And there you have it!
Cheers.

My daughter is a film maker. So I asked her. She said something cute and funny. Hard to argue with that!

I'd use this to create time lapse footage, and also use it to do a lego stopmotion video!

Oh, I'd like to make a Star Trek movie. It probably would look like the original...

I would use it to continue the epic adventures of Fred & Bob the Lego guys in their endless quest for adventure, danger, and stuff.
To see their adventures thus far, search Fred and Bob's Adventure on youtube.
