"Stickman has grown from an amazing toy to a professional animation tool in two years." Sven Nilsen, Creator of Stickman

Scott Dickinson, Coombabah State High School:
"Stickman is great software too, and really suitable for junior high school.  It is a mature, stable product that has been exceptionally well designed.  It makes a great bridging product to Flash.  I particularly admire software with a low learning curve such as Stickman so that students can spend more time being creative and less time learning which buttons to press."

Chris Boucher:
"Gidday from Australia! Firstly I'd like to congratulate you on Stickman. I have used practically all 2d animation apps available and none of them have been as easy to operate as Stickman. The first time I used it I spent 7 hours dabbling around with little to no frustration, except my eyeballs became fused to my sockets from gazing at the screen for so long and my partner had to drag me away!"

Thomas Taylor:
"I currently use Toon Boom Studio 4 but your character
rigging and walk cycle are absolutely terrific !"

Jared Schappert:
"Fun, easy to use ... and a child friendly amazing program!"

Ivan Bogardi:
"Thank you for this marvelous program! It is not only for children and amateurs. It is for experts too, because it is possible to do everything what an expert wish."

Amy Stockman:
"My son Frank, who is 11, was very excited to try out your program. He is a very big fan of the stick man animations and games online - he was thrilled to be able to try to make them on his own. Thanks for developing this program that is so easy for someone his age to learn."

Create Your Own Cartoon Movies

The software does all the tricky work for you

Stickman, the cartoon animation software where you control characters like puppets.

Unlike any other 2D animation software, all you need to do is to drag the character from pose to pose and let the computer do the rest. We studied animation history to find out what kind of art form people like to start with to become animators. Cutout is the oldest animation genre that includes silhouette animation, collage and puppetry. The principle is that you move each part a little for each shot.

Cutout Pro's vision is to recreate the art of cutout in digital form. You no longer need to take a shot for each frame. Like 3D animation you add a key frame to control the position of an item at a specific time. This allows you to go back in time and make changes.

How is it possible to build a software that kids and grown-ups can create their own cartoons? The secret is to abstract the animation controls into control points and switches. A powerful figure editor defines how the control points affects the figure. In that way all the user need to do is to move the control points and change the switches. Nice!
