Anithings is a creativity tool that allows children to produce
animated stories. Children can design and create their own
characters and settings or use ready made ones from the bank.
Animations are made by changing objects properties such as position,
size and color, or by recording motion using the mouse.
Animated stories can be created to link with any topic from Vikings
to pirates to fairy tales, or wherever your imagination takes you.
The addition of speech bubbles to your characters enables a unique
storytelling medium to enhance and build upon literacy skills. Add
special effects to enhance your mini-masterpieces or use the
storyboard to plan an epic movie.
Features:
• Character creation - Objects can be combined to create Anithings
characters. Drop shapes on top of each other to build up faces with
eyes, mouths, etc. Snap objects together to make animated hinged
limbs. The bank contains a selection of ready-to-use characters that
you can add your own creations to by simply dragging and dropping.
• Storyboarding - Use the storyboard mode to plan your animated story.
Add and arrange scenes, then choose backgrounds and characters.
• Recording Motion - Simply press the Record button and move your
characters. The movement will be captured and added to your
animation.
• Tweening - Animations can also be created by setting an object's
properties. Simply drag the timeline slider to the required time
position and move the object to its new position. The object will
now automatically be animated by moving to the new position when the
play button is pressed. Other properties such as size, transparency,
color and rotation can be added in the same way.
• Speech Bubbles - Bring your Anithing characters to life by using
speech bubbles to help tell your story.
• Sharing Online - Share your children's creations by uploading them
or embedding them in your school's Learning Platform, website or
blog.
Benefits:
• Encourages children's creativity
• Great cross-curricular potential
• Simple to use
• Suitable for all primary age ranges
