Student Work:

The students at PEAC have created some great stick figure animations using a free program called PIVOT. PIVOT allows the students to create animated stories by drawing stick figures and backgrounds in individual frames that can be previewed as you go. The visual editor also allows you to assemble other objects from lines and circles in addition to set animation size, frame speed and more. The results shown here have been saved as a GIF file and will open in a separate window. Use your browser Back button to return to this page.

PEAC, in conjunction with Pivot Stickfigure Animator, presents…..The PEAC Pivot movies.

These Superhero short films are brought to you by the year 5,6 and 7 boys in the Term 3, 2007, Pivot Animation Course.

Pivot Stickfigure Animator is a program which allows the user to animate a stick figure, import backgrounds, and most importantly, tell a story using pictures only.

The stories on this page are about superheroes and villains, some of whom are good at their job, others who are not quite so competent!

Sit back and enjoy these Pivot films!
