About Plotagon
Plotagon is a creative app that allows anyone to tell stories as 3D animated videos. The app, which was released in July 2014, is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC. The app is easy to use: the user chooses the characters and scenes, writes their story in the form of dialogue, and adds actions, sound effects and music. After the user has finished tweaking the video, it is a matter of pressing play and the app animates the movie automatically – no need for knowledge of animation at all. Behind the scenes, Plotagon takes care of lighting, camera angles, animation, lip-syncing, and editing. Users only need to focus on communicating their stories.
