What is Stop Motion?
Stop motion is a filmmaking technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own. This is accomplished by taking an image of a still object, then moving the object a tiny bit and taking another image. Repeat this process, play back the sequence in rapid progression, and the object appears to move fluidly across the screen.
