Does iStopMotion let you have transparent layers, so you can shoot say two or three character animation layers on top of a BG layer and/or have an Overlay layer on top ? The main thing would be to have all layers be transparent so that for example you could have a character's head and arms layers animating on top of a held body layer, on top of a held chair chair layer, on top of the BG layer, and be able to see through all layers for the pencil test. I have used iStopMotion a long time ago, but for stop-motion puppets, not shooting hand-drawn pencil tests. I can confirm from the reports posted on the TVPaint User Forum that this unit definitely works with TVPaint and is much faster than using a flatbed scanner. In theory there's no reason it should not, but I don't want to say that it absolutely will work with other apps like Digicel Flipbook until I know that for sure by personal testing or by a reliable report from another user. If any readers of my blog purchase the Simplicity Cam 5e and use it successfully with any of those other apps I'd be very interested to have it confirmed that the Simplicity Cam 5e works with those other apps. I'm thinking of Digicel Flipbook, Toki Line Test, ToonBoom Pencil Check, MonkeyJam, etc. The specs seem right in terms of the resolution, the max capture area, and the fact that it is a simple USB connection to the computer, which means it should be universal, so in theory almost any kind of animation program should be able to capture images using the Simplicity Cam 5e. That gives me confidence that this unit would be a good pencil test camera.

The TVPaint Development team has also tested it with both Windows and Mac versions of TVPaint and reported good results for capturing line art. I do want to mention that I have not yet personally tested the Simplicity Cam 5e, so I'm not giving it my personal endorsement just yet, but I think it speaks highly of this product that Cal Arts has purchased 10 of these units recently to use for pencil testing with TVPaint. (the 2K resolution possible with the Simplicity Cam 5e is as high a resolution as would be needed for scanning most types of scenes at 12 field.
Yes, this HD document camera, the Simplicity Cam 5e seems to have a lot of potential as a test camera/capture station for pencil tests, as well as being high enough quality to capture final clean-up line drawings which can then be colored in the animation app of choice, such as TVPaint or Digicel Flipbook, etc. More information about this image capture station can be found HERE: This reseller has it listed for $178.00 (price visible if you add it to the cart). NOTE: You'll need to add a peg bar and the base of the unit will need to be bolted down to a table top or a board so it can't be knocked over or jarred out of position (the base is weighted, but it needs to be completely locked down for animation).

of the software you are using to be sure it meets the specifications for capturing images into your software) (potentially works with any other pencil test software such as Digicel Flipbook, or Toki Line Test, or ToonBoom Pencil Check. Image capture is much faster than scanning on a Flatbed scanner, but the capture resolution of the Simplicity Cam 5e is equivalent to using a scanner and the resolution is much higher than most webcams or mini-dv cameras that are typically used for pencil testing on a down-shooter.Ĭonfirmed to work with TVPaint Animation running under Windows and Mac OS. capture area of 12.75" x 17.25" (so this will capture the usable drawing area on 12 Field and 16 Field animation paper.)
