Stop Motion Animation is a creative filmmaking technique where objects are physically manipulated and photographed one frame at a time. By slightly moving the objects between each shot, animators can create the illusion of movement when the frames are played in sequence. This method can be used with various materials, including clay, toys, or even paper cutouts.
The process requires patience and precision, as each frame must be carefully crafted to ensure smooth motion. Famous examples of Stop Motion Animation include movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Wallace & Gromit, showcasing the unique charm and artistry of this captivating form of animation.
