Stop Motion
What is Stop Motion ?
Stop motion animation or stop frame animation, is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement. Stop motion is similar than how 2D drawn animation (early Disney) works , except using physical objects instead of drawings.
The basic process of animation involves taking a photograph of your objects or characters, moving them slightly, and taking another photograph. When you play back the images consecutively, the objects or characters appear to move on their own.
