Basics of Stop Motion Animation

Video Transcript

Hi! This is Blake Whitaker for Expert Village. Today I am going to talk about a stop motion animation. Stop motion is generic term for moving ecstatic object frame by frame and playing it back fast to create the illusion of motion. Stop motion has been around for a long time. We've seen it back in the day with King Kong in the 1930's and we've seen it recently with the corpses bride in Robo Chicken. It is easy animation to do and with a few simple supplies, anyone at home can do it. Today I am going to show you how to gather those supplies and make yourself a movie. The first thing you need to think about is what your animated and why you are animated. So it would be a good idea to write yourself a script or outline or story board essentially all being sort of the same thing. This is pre-production before you even start gathering your supplies or animated it all, you want to have a clear idea of why and what you are doing. Once you have your script ready and you know what you want to animate, it is time to go find your characters that are going to be in your movie and the set you are going to animate on and then the rest of the supplies will go along with it, so let's go.
