Toonloop is a software application for live stop-motion animation. [3] "Live" means that the animation is constantly playing while being edited. Toonloop allows animators to create stop-motion animation, pixilation, and other animation techniques and the result is constantly seen while the user is adding images to the animation. It is a project of Alexandre Quessy [4] with help from Tristan Matthews. [5]
Alexandre Quessy presented artistic performances using this software at SAT [6] and ETS [7] in Canada and at the Piksel 09 Festival in Norway. [8] [9]
