Stop-motion animation is a creative technique where objects are physically manipulated and photographed one frame at a time. By slightly moving the object between each shot, animators can create the illusion of movement when the frames are played in sequence. This method is often used with clay figures, puppets, or even everyday items, making it a fun and accessible way to tell stories. One famous example of stop-motion animation is the work of Aardman Animations, known for their charming films like Wallace & Gromit. This style of animation requires patience and precision, as each tiny adjustment contributes to the final product, bringing characters and scenes to life in a unique way.
