WHAT IS STOP MOTION
Stop Motion is an animation technique which, contrary to hand-made drawings, makes use of inanimated objects captured one frame at a time and moved between frames. When the frames are strung together in an edited scene they seem to move independently. In film animation there are 24 frames per second! In each photo, the character or the object has to be physically manipulated in order to obtain the desired animation.
Stop Motion is an ancient technique, already used by George Melies for the making of the special effects of his movies at the very beginning of the 20th century. Since then it has seen an incredible evolution which can be fully appreciated in movies such as Nightmare Before Christmas or Chicken Run.
