Animation Techniques- Stop Motion
Stop Motion is the process of making an object look like it is moving on its own my manipulating it between frames. The idea is to make minute changes after each photograph is taken. These are then all ran after each other to provide a moving object.
The most common form of Stop Motion is using clay figures or figures with moveable joints.
The first use of Stop Motion was in 1897 with The Humpty Dumpty Circus.
One of the most common forms of Stop motion is using clay, claymation, in which plasticine is used. Although humans, drawings and objects can be used for stop motion.
Willis O'Brien brought claymation to fame. He is well known for his work on the lost world and King Kong.
Since this Stop motion has been used in many films including Terminator, Star wars and Indiana Jones.
One of the most famous uses of Claymation is the work done on Wallace and Gromit by Oscar winner Nick Parks.
The first Wallace and Gromit short film was created in 1989 and lasted 24 minutes. It was called A Grand Day Out. Since then three more short films have been created and one feature length film, which took 15 months to make. Park has been quoted saying they make approximately 30 frames in one day. This is just over one second of footage.
Wallace and Gromit is the story of an elderly northern man who lives with his dog Gromit. Wallace is an inventor and we follow them as they get into numerous situations.
Another example of Stop Motion is South Park. Episodes are usually completed with one week.
