What is Stop-Motion?
Stop-motion is a filmmaking technique that brings inanimate objects to life through a series of individual frames. By capturing an image, making small movements, and then capturing another image, animators create the illusion of motion when the frames are played in sequence. This method has been used in classic films, commercials, and educational projects, allowing creators to tell unique and imaginative stories using clay, paper cut-outs, puppets, and even everyday objects. Whether for fun or professional use, stop motion is a creative way to explore animation and storytelling.
