I wasn't very impressed with this presentation. They were mainly just selling a product. The presenters were disorganized and often stumped with questions. I did receive a copy of the software. My students will enjoy using it for clay animation. One interesting thing was the Olympus cameras they used. I guess they are about $200 and you can drop them, step on them, drop them in the water and they just keep ticking. This would be something to keep in mind when purchasing cameras for school.
