Have you ever seen those quirky, slightly jerky videos where items dance around the screen? They’re probably stop motions – a simple animation consisting of photos stitched cleverly together. I’ve been playing with a few of them recently, and as per popular request, put together this post detailing exactly how to make a stop motion video.
I’ve been a little obsessed with them since I discovered Wallace and Gromit – and was delighted to discover that it’s possible to make them myself – you simply take an image, move the prop in a small way, take an image, move the prop etc etc. then stitch the images together, like frames of a filmstrip.
