Stop motion animation is achieved by recording individual still frames of motion and playing them back sequentially to create the illusion of continuous movement. Each frame is a slightly altered version of the previous frame with objects moved in small increments. This labor intensive process can involve manipulating physical objects, cutouts, or live actors frame-by-frame to simulate movement. Different stop motion techniques produce varied effects and include manipulating objects, cutouts, silhouettes, or live actors to bring them to animated life.

2. • There are different types of stop motion all
which when used have different effects.
• Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on
film or digital media and then played back
in rapid succession. When played back at a
frame rate greater than 10–12 frames per
second, a fairly convincing illusion of
continuous motion is achieved, creating an
illusion is true of all moving images

3. • Each object is sculpted in a malleable
material usually around a wire skeleton called
armature.
• As in other forms of object animation, the
object is arranged on the set, and the object
or character is then moved slightly by hand.
Another frame is taken, and the object is
moved slightly again. This cycle is repeated
until the animator has achieved the desired
amount of film.

5. • a technique for producing animations
using flat characters, props and
backgrounds cut from materials such as
paper, card, stiff fabric or even
photographs.

6. • A stop motion technique where live actors
are used as a frame-by-frame subject in
an animated film, by repeatedly posing
while one or more frame is taken and
changing pose slightly before the next
frame or frames. The actor becomes a
kind of living stop motion puppet.

8. • Silhouette animation is animation in which
the characters are only visible as black
silhouettes. This is usually accomplished
by backlighting articulated cardboard cut-
outs, though other methods exist. It is
partially inspired by, but for a number of
reasons technically distinct from, shadow
play.

10. • Time lapse animation is where a process which
would appear subtle to the human eye is
captured over a period of time and played faster
per frames/s to achieve a sudden motion of
activity. Some common subjects of time lapse
animation include:
• Rotting fruit
• The movement of clouds
• Plants growing
• People moving around the city.
