Editor: Here at Dragon Stop Motion, we have a point of view. We're animators, directors of photography, and artists, and we designed Dragon to be the software we've been waiting for. The software that allows us to do feature-level, performance-based animation in any format.
Whether you're shooting for the Web or for 4K raw files, Dragon makes no limitations.
Because we designed Dragon in the stress of real productions, our features are concise and powerful. We Focus on capturing high-quality digital stills or video and allowing you to work directly with those files. Dragon organizes your images simply and gives you access to them in high resolution.
Camera
Our Cinematography Window gives directors of photography the command they require. Laid out in a straightforward working environment, you can seamlessly adjust camera settings, compare pixel values, and take test shots.
Moving Between the Cinematography Window and the Animation Window is agile and all of the features are designed to be intuitive for working professionals.
History
Since 1993, brothers Jamie and Dyami Caliri have collaborated to Create stop motion software. Jamie is a noted and award winning Director, and Dyami is a professional software engineer. Their first collaboration was to design a custom 35mm film camera control; this then led to a software-based Frame grabber, and finally a comprehensive digital-stills-based solution.
In 2005, Jamie began directing the United Airlines commercial "Dragon". He wanted to shoot stop motion with digital stills. The Caliri brothers worked closely with virtuoso animator Kim Blanchette to develop software that would meet their extraordinary needs. The result was a comprehensive stop motion tool that helped bring the Annie-award-winning United Airlines spot to life.
