Some track its origin to a mistake. In 1896, Georges

Mlis camera jammed, and when the film was developed
objects magically disappeared on screen. Quick to
exploit this error he and many others began to stage
their own illusions. While much of technique has gone
into special effects, some artists have refined the
general grammar of stop motion into creates its own
genre. Indeed now stop motion has many different
schools and directions

What is Stop Motion?

Stop motion animation has been around for a long

time, almost as long as traditional film-making.
Originally stop motion involved animating objects
which included the animated movement of any "nondrawn" objects such as toys, blocks or any rigid
inanimate object you care to mention. This was quickly
followed by cel animaiton. And then animators
experimented with clay animation and puppet animation
which is what you may be familiar with in Wallace and
Gromit and so forth

colleagues recently, Why do you
continue to teach Stop Motion in your
Gaming and Animation class? These
students need to learn more about the
new technologies in animation
