Stop Motion

Do you even watch movies and observe the flow's motions? I'm both analytic and creative person so I do observe motions while watching movies like how much the frames are shown in every second. Let's talk about Stop Motion. What is stop motion anyway? Stop motion is a kind of movies that animates objects that really do move when watched. Stop motion is a form of animation. Stop motion is a traditional animation from my point of view. Here is a sample of stop motion:

That's my video that conceptualizes stop motion. I just drew a lot of sketches on a bunch of pieces of paper and capture them one by one. Now, how to make stop motions anyway? Every frames are made of pictures. Some video editing to make a single picture move in seconds. In video editing, you also need to make a picture move with a certain less than 1 or 0.75 seconds per picture. If you are using a camera, the camera must be still and untouched its position (if you want to have one angle). Having tripods is best for making still images (and videos). And you just need to place and move some objects used for stop motion. Anything is appreciated for making one. Clay (playing dough) is the best one for making stop motions. One thing that mostly costly making stop motions is time management. It takes a lot of time to achieve one. And, you really do a lot of hardwork.

Wallace and Gromit

One example of a stop motion/clay animation done is the Wallace and Gromit series created aand produced by Nick Park of Aardman Animations. It is the best one I've seen so far. Thus, it is really amazing. Living figures are in clay (like what have I said earlier that clay is the best for making stop motions).

Chicken Run

Another example is Chicken Run also done by same creators and producers of Wallace and Gromit. You might find out that it is not stop motion and clay animation. It is really made with stop motion but the flow is smooth. About the clay usage, it is very clean when built. Mindblowing, isn't it? People are just glad that there are still people doing amazing things such like these.

Stop motion is one of the animation styles you can do rather than using some 2D and 3D digital animation programs. This one is most likely a traditional animation and a longer time to take. Doing the good work is appreciated. The world was once empty and filling some amazing things.
