Stop Motion Animation

How Does Stop Motion animation Work?

Stop Motion animation is a technique to make an object appear to move on its own, when in fact the object is moved very slightly in each individually photographed frame. When this is played continuously the object appears to move. It is a bit like a flick book because when the pages are flicked the drawing comes alive. Another example is the clay figures used in films like ‘Wallace and Gromit’. Clay is useful because it is easy to bend and move to the positions needed. This type of stop motion is called ‘clay animation’.

Here are two links to some music videos that use stop motion animation.

Stop Motion Proposal

Here is what I intend to do for my stop motion animation.



This is my story board for my stop motion animation.




and here is my stop motion animation.

I think I have created a slightly humorous animation but on the other hand it is quite serious. I think it reflects gun crime, as most of it is teenagers in gangs. It fits in with changing landscapes because it went from a normal street to a gun crime in a matter of seconds.
