stop motion animation
Last modified: Thursday, May 24, 2007
In animation stop motion animation is a cinematic process, or
technique used to makes static objects appear as if they were moving. This
technique is commonly used in claymation and puppet-based animation. The objects
are brought to life by breaking up the figure's motion into increments and
filming one frame of film per increment.
