Our spotlight turns to a great stop motion video, starring 3 young filmakers, a camera and a dream! (and a few other items, of course) I hope you enjoy it, we know sure did!

Stop Motion

Our favorite animation technique, Stop motion (also known as frame by frame animation or stop action animation) is to take an object and manipulate it to appear as if it moves on its own. The specified object is moved in many small increments and photographed frame by frame in order to create an illusion of movement when the frames are played in a continuous sequence.

Often you will find that clay figurines would be the object of choice as they manipulate and reposition with ease which gave way to the claymation revolution. Another favorite object used in stop motion animation is the lego man, often many animations have used the lego guy to create spoofs and stop motion animation that are very clever and quite entertaining.

Stop Motion World.

We created this site cause we wanted to highlight our favorite form of animation, Stop Motion. We have a number of tutorials, a blog with many great stop motion videos from the amateur to the professional. Also you will find animation festivals, forums, a list of stop motion software as well as a store where you can find products to get you started with your first stop motion video.

Welcome and Enjoy!
