Stop Motion
I can use a stop motion technique to create a simple two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional animation that communicates an idea.
Stop motion is a powerful animation technique that makes static objects appear to be moving. Creating stop motion draws attention to placement, framing, direction and speed of movement. There are many types of stop motion techniques, in both 2-D and 3-D media, such as: hand drawing, cut-paper, sand, and Claymation.
Creating a stop motion animation movie requires a lot of patience and creativity. In order to achieve the illusion of animation, each frame has to be carefully set up and precisely filmed. This process is tedious and time‐consuming; however, when properly done, can create an outstanding movie effect.
Things to think about:
There should be 3 to 5 frames for each second of the finished movie.
Your finished movie should be approximately 30 seconds.
This means that you need to film from 90 to 150 frames of animation.
Your final movie will look choppier if you use fewer frames per second.
However, if you use a lot of frames per second, you will have a lot more work.
