Stop Motion Tutorials

Here are some great videos we've put together for you to supplement your classes and discover for yourself how fun and simple Stop Motion Animation can be!

Stop Action Animation is a technique used in animation to bring static objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the objects in small movements while filming a frame per movement.

When all the frames are played in sequence, the object comes to life.

Clay figures, puppets and miniatures are often used in stop motion animation as they can be handled and repositioned easily.
