Hi everyone,

we are an iOS startup from Wroclaw, Poland, and would like to suggest the following iPad app that took us more than a year to develop:

PhotoPuppet HD is a video animation app for the iPad that allows you to create and control animated puppets which can be created from images stored in your photo library and from ready-made templates.
Utilizing the multitouch features of the screen and a simple layering technique seen in most full fledged video and image editing suites, items can be animated by using pinch and zoom and manipulated with simple finger movements. Editing can be done in a storyboard mode similar to iMovie/GarageBand, or frame by frame.
*
The created videos can be saved to iPad's library, posted to YouTube, and then the links posted to Twitter and Facebook.

Here's the App Store link:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/photopuppet-hd/id421738553?mt=8

Currently there is no other animation app in the store that allows you to do what PhotoPuppet HD does.

Check out the comparison of features of current iPad animation apps:

All other similar apps (Puppet Pals, Animation Creator, Toontastic) limit you to ready-made pictures, or worse - force you to use old-style flipbook animation. Some of them don't offer YouTube uploads. Some of them don't have Twitter and Facebook integration. PhotoPuppet HD has all that:

1. frame-by-frame animation - create sequences of frames, edit them in PhotoPuppet HD and use during animation by switching frames using vertical or circular frame switchers

2. automatic motion - set objects in various types of motion (like rotation for car wheels or planets) 

3. characters can be built from many separately-controlled body parts (create puppets with animated legs, arms or heads - move them separately or set *automatic movement - eg. applying walk sequence to puppet's legs )

4. attach heads to ready-made bodies and create cartoon-like puppets instantly



No other animation software on the iPad gives you so much creative freedom.



PhotoPuppet HD allows:

- creating puppets out of photo gallery
- using any content in your animation

- recording and editing individual tracks and sound - just like you would in any pro app

- exporting your creations to video files with standard or HD quality

- posting animations to YouTube, links to Twitter and Facebook

- sending projects, project parts or single puppets via email to other PhotoPuppet users - your content can be reused

- sending movies as e-mail attachments
