All about Stop-Motion Animation
Stop-motion animation makes objects or models appear to move by photographing small changes in position. Played in order, the photos look like smooth movement.
Between each photo, the object is moved very slightly. When the photos are played back quickly, the object seems to move on its own.
It takes a lot of patience, because a few seconds of film can need hundreds of photographs.
