Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion was first displayed in 1898 by Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton for a Vitagraph production of 'The Humpty Dumpty Circus'. It normally consists of the models being made from clay and then filming the models with different cameras, one frame at a time. The most famous example of stop-motion is 'Wallace and Gromit' with other films such as 'Chicken Run' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' also being well-known.
