Stop motion

Stop Motion is an animation technique.


It works by taking a photograph of the object, then moving the object a little bit and then taking another photograph. After assembling the photographs to a film, it appears as though the objects would move by themselves.

This is similar to the animation of cartoons and is used in many early monster films, like the Ray Harryhausen and King Kong films and more recently in the works of Aardman Animations Wallace and Gromit films.
