History
Dragonframe was initially developed by brothers Jamie[5][6] and Dyami Caliri while they were creating a commercial for United Airlines[7] called "The Dragon".[8] It was later developed into a commercial product, marketed by DZED Systems.
In 2014 Dragonframe won an Ub Iwerks award at the annual Annie Awards.[9]
Features
To create basic stop motion animations, the software controls a digital camera.[10] Additional hardware add-ons can be connected for controlling lighting and camera movement. The software allows the user to manipulate the camera and the scene, and then to combine the frames into a sequence of animated frames.[11][12][13] Animators can view several individual frames overlaid for comparison,[14] and they can preview sequences of frames overlaid on a moving background.[15]
