Stop Motion

Okay guys, this will be my third post of the day, but I've had a lot to say and share with you all, and I hope I haven't overloaded you!! This one is going to be super short. I want to bring your attention to the art of "Stop-Motion" animation. Have you ever used a flip book? This is extremely similar. Merriam-Webster defines stop motion as follows, "a filming technique in which successive positions of objects...are photographed to produce the appearance of movement."
I've got a few examples for you, which I really hope you will take a break from whatever you're doing to watch. These are TRULY amazing works, and will blow your mind with their creativity, artistic abilities, and story-lines.

Here we go!

This one is one of my particular favorites. I come back to it every once in a while and literally sit with my jaw-dropped because my mind can't even understand how someone can be so incredibly creative. It's long, but its a perfect example of both stop motion animation, and regular stop motion filming.

Here, we have one that is stop motion filming. It's from Japan, and the story line is very intriguing!

And last - but most definitely not least - check out this purely animated stop motion. This one will tug at your heartstrings...I assure you.

That's all for now! Hope you guys enjoyed all the posts today!!
