HUE Animation Toolbox

The ultimate movie-making kit for young creators!

The beautiful HUE Animation Toolbox gift box features hand-sculpted clay dinosaurs and papercraft characters on the outside. Open it up and it transforms into a cosmic animation stage featuring ready-to-film claymation space scenes. The professional-grade animation clay, modelling tools and felt are ideal for shaping your wildest ideas into unique characters, while the storyboard template, coloured pencils, sticky notes and sticky tack help to develop those ideas into fully-fledged storylines. The model-making mat offers tried-and-tested tips for taking your claymation creations to the next level. If you prefer to skip the modelling and jump straight into mastering the process of animation itself, there are premade pop-out cardboard characters, props and activities to try, along with the HUE Book of Animation projects, downloadable templates and tutorial videos. There’s also a double-sided ‘green’ screen so that more experienced animators can use advanced techniques right out of the box. Simply install the animation software on your computer then connect the colourful HUE HD USB camera to begin animating in moments. If you want to add to your project away from your desk, there’s also a mobile phone tripod and link to a free mobile app so that you can keep animating on the go. With the HUE Animation Toolbox you can race your own toy vehicles, sculpt hilarious clay characters with huge googly eyes, star as a disco-dancing paper puppet, battle aliens in an intergalactic adventure and much, much more!
