Stop motion animation is a contemporary practice that usually involves a camera, and various materials to create objects and backgrounds in order to tell a story. Movement using this technique often varies depending on the style and experience of the Animator. The more fames and little movement between the frames, the smoother the movement when the clip is played back.
When stop motion first arrived, it was captured using film cameras instead of normal cameras. this proved to be difficult as the animator was unaware of how the animation looked until the film was processed. A key trouble when experimenting with stop motion is the fact that one small bump can completely ruin a scene.
Stop motion animation enables animators, character designers and set designers to create intricate and detailed features. The attention to detail in a lot of stop motion is fascinating because productions manage to create the illusion of depth and size using different materials.
Metal armatures are considered key when creating a character that will be animated. The metal skeleton is durable and stiff, yet easy to move which are important.
Nowadays, DSLRs are often used to capture stop motion animation because they are high- quality, and more efficient that using as video camera. These cameras make it possible to see what you're shooting straight after a couple of frames.
Stop motion animation is not only used to create feature films and TV shows, it is often used in advertisements and games. I hope to experiment further with stop motion, as it's one of the many animating practices that I enjoy.
