FluxTime Limited, 23 Lower Bevendean Avenue, Brighton BN2 4FE, United Kingdom.
moviesoup is an intuitive animation tool designed around the creative flow. no need to read lenghty manuals just to get things moving: where others juggle with key-frames, motion-paths and transforms, moviesoup animators simply record and edit animation directly on screen!

we see animation on the web and TV everyday, however, creating animation has been out of reach for most people - until now. with moviesoup anyone can animate and make the step from consumer to producer of original animated artwork.

moviesoup was created in a participative design project together with users, teachers and experts in digital creativity. we'd love to know what you think of the software and how we should develop it further. if you have any comments or ideas please get in touch!

moviesoup is developed and published by FluxTime, the creators of the popular FluxTime Studio animation community for children. To find out more about FluxTime please visit our company website here.

FluxTime Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company No 5148068. Registered address is 35 Ballards Lane, London, N3 1XW.
