This is my blog around Stop Motion Animations, the different techniques used for it, the different artists who have used Stop Motion throughout time in their films, music videos , cartoons etc. I will also be blogging about the history of Stop Motion Animation. To start I will go through the basic principles of Stop Motion Animation.
Stop Motion Animation is a film or video making technique where in making a film you can add something abnormal to the real World - such as a monster - without the use of CGI, an example of this would be in the film Clash Of The Titans (1981). Stop Motion is also used to move an item or object in a video or film without the audience being able to see that it has been moved.
This technique is achieved by firstly taking a picture of the object you wish to be used in your film in it's desired starting position. This will be your first frame. Next the object must be moved a very small amount and posed ready for the next picture, this picture will then become your second frame. This process gets repeated until the scene you wanted to create with that object is completed (when all the frames needed have been taken). Lastly you must edit all of the frames to fit together; this can be achieved with many different editing and/or video creating softwares. This then will create the Stop Motion scene where your object will appear to be moving all by itself.
Here are some examples of Stop Motion Animation in films:
