What is Stop Motion?

Stop Motion Animation is a filmmaking technique to create the illusion of movement by capturing a series of individual frames or pictures. Objects or characters are physically manipulated and photographed one frame at a time, with slight changes made between each shot. When these frames are played back in quick succession, the illusion of motion is created.
