Stop Motion Animation Films
Stop motion (also known as stop action or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increment and photographed. The photographs are played as a series of frames in a continuous sequence. Think of the concept of a flip book.
Computer Arts Students created their own stop motion animations using Adobe Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker. They were required to make at least 100 photos. Check out the results (you will need Windows Media Player to view these .wmv files):
