18. Terminology
Stop motion animation: (also called stop frame animation) ….is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement.

19. Terminology
Frame-by-frame: Frame-by-frame animation changes the contents of ‘the stage’ in every frame and is best suited to complex animation in which an image changes in every frame instead of simply moving across ‘the stage’.
Traditionally, animation is 24 Frames per second.
For our animations, you may go slower than that.

20. How to? Step 2: Your story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irOecGxh36g

21. Early Stop-Motion Early stop motion was captured with film cameras.
Animators could not see how their work looked until they got their film processed.
They used surface gages to keep track of where their characters were, and how far to move them.
If the animation was not fluid, if the set had been bumped, or if the lighting was bad, the work was lost and the animator had to start all over again. Disney: The Lion King:

22. Where to now?
This assignment is to be completed individually! You may assist other students with their stop motion animations, but you are ALL to present an INDIVIDUAL stop motion animation.
