Stop Motion

What is stop motion?- Stop motion is a cinematographic technique whereby the camera is repeatedly stopped and started, for example to give animated figures the impression of movement.

 

Wallace and Gromit is a great and very famous example of stop motion. Here we see a very professional take on stop motion. The seamless changes between the photographs to make the film rum smoothly, this is done by the shear time and effort put into the making of this where the movements of characters and objects have been moved very little every time they took the next shot, this also means that each say 10 seconds of the clip with have hundreds if not thousands of shots to make it all happen.
