Image for Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion Animation

Stop motion animation is a filmmaking technique where physical objects or models are photographed frame by frame. Each movement is carefully adjusted slightly between shots, and when the images are played in sequence, they create the illusion of motion. It’s like making a flipbook, but with real materials like clay, puppets, or toys. This method gives a tangible, handcrafted feel to the animation, often resulting in a charming, textured look. It requires patience and precision, as every small adjustment must be captured meticulously to achieve smooth movement.
