STOP M O T I O N

How many of you have ever tried STOP MOTION ANIMATION?

For the uninitiated, stop motion animation is a film making technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own.

To make it work, you place an object in front of a camera and snap a photo. You then move the object a tiny bit and snap another photo. Repeat this process twenty to ten thousand times, play back the sequence in rapid progression, and the object appears to move fluidly across the screen. (http://tinkerlab.com/)
