[Bf-committers] stop motion in blender

[Aaron Moore]

In my opinion, you'd be better off making a simple open-source
stop-motion program and then importing the stop motion clips into
blender. As you said, the functionality is not that complicated:
connecting with the device, real-time viewing of the image, and a
capture button.

While blender isn't really built for that sort of thing, it would
certainly be cool to work it in in the compositing stage.
