"Everything moves -- way too much..."
Version: PulpMotion 3.2.1
Pros
Very clever and comprehensive offering -- large variety of options, colors. Great degree of control over timing and details. Almost anyone should be able find a format to suit his or her needs. Almost anyone.
Cons
Everything moves, backgrounds wobble, photos enter and exit spinning, soaring, rotating. Trying to work my way through the program at full-screen literally gave me motion sickness.
Summary
This app obviously was designed by and for people reared on video games and MTV. Everything onscreen moves; flies in and out, rotates, spins. Even the turning-page book cannot just turn pages, it zooms in and out and rotates about a quarter circle whenever it goes to a new page. This is very disconcerting for me, wanting to concentrate on the photos and not the delivery, and to my mind PulpMotion calls too much attention to itself at the expense of the images.
When I did find a module that had a minimum of dashing about and the like, the background pulsated. Or waved. Or vibrated. I'm a photographer who is looking for a medium to display my works, and unfortunately PulpMotion 3.2.1 seems to be a bit too juvenile for my needs.
I was serious when I said it made me sick. Sorry, it just won't work for me.
Best wishes
