DIY Animation Software: New software with lifelike voices lets anyone become a one-person movie studio.

Acapela Group, the leading supplier of voice synthesis solutions and Plotagon, maker of popular DIY animation software, are teaming up to bring a full animated movie studio to global e-learning and entertainment markets.

With the newest release of Plotagon’s software applications, users can create 3D-style characters that come to life with Acapela’s life-like digital voices. For the first time, content professionals, teachers, students, and ordinary storytellers can make their own animated movies with a huge cast of digital actors.

 

Using Plotagon’s Red Dot Award-winning User Interface, users can create unique characters and choose from dozens of Acapela’s expressive voices in American, British, and Australian English, North American or Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Scandinavian languages. Then they can select from over 150 ready-made locations, type their dialogue, and press play to start the cameras rolling.

“3D animation is a powerful marketing tool. Combined with voice, it effectively conveys messages, builds brand awareness, helps educate, supports language learning, tells great stories, and much more. We are delighted by the combination of Plotagon characters and Acapela voices,” said Remy Cadic, VP Sales of Acapela Group. “The way has been paved for limitless creativity using many languages and expressive voices.”

 

Businesses, governments, and nonprofits use Plotagon’s DIY animation as an easy and cost-effective way to produce training, marketing, and outreach films; teachers use it to teach and assess writing, interpersonal, and language skills; and individuals express themselves online. “Every day, I see more and more people all around the world creating inspiring movies using Plotagon,” said Plotagon CEO Filip Grufman. “Thanks to our new partnership with Acapela, we can give them more and better voices with which to tell their stories.”
