So What Is Animation ? / Stop-motion

Stop-motion animation is used to describe animation created by physically manipulating real-world objects.


Using for example a piece of paper, and scrunching it up and photographing each stage of the 'scrunch'  to create the sequence of events you will then use to create the illusion of movement.


Example; Stock Motion
In this example you can see how the paper/card cut outs (real-world object) have been used to create a story, an illusion of movement created by several photographic shots taken and put together in a sequence of events.
-The paper boat does not rotate, it is the multiple photographs taken at various angles that creates this illusion-

There are many different types of stop-motion animation, usually named after the type of media used to create the animation. 

• Pupet Animation
• Clay Animation 
• Cut-out Animation
