Stop motion tutorial and some examples!

Been looking at how to use stop motion and some examples of it being used in television.
It's quite a simple, but extremely time-consuming process and requires a lot of patience. The process involves taking pictures of an object, which in our case will be a paper boat, and moving the object very slightly each shot, these photos are then put together and speeded up to give the illusion that the object is moving.

Here's a simple tutorial on how to do a basic stop-motion animation (might want to turn the volume down though...)


I also looked at some examples of more advanced stop motion being used in television, film and just on YouTube.


This is just an amateur video from YouTube, it's very simple but is a good example of stop motion.


This is a television example of stop motion. The Magic Roundabout was created in the 60's and 70's, before CGI was created and shows a more advanced example of stop motion being used.


This is a trailer for 2005 film, Corpse Bride. It is a modern example of stop motion being used on a large medium. It gives the film a unique feel compared to modern animations using CGI.
