Stop Motion Research!

I wanted to research into other ways of carrying out stop motion animation other than using drawings. These are a few interesting techniques found.

I love how simple this technique is but how much thought and effort must have gone into the creation of it. Moving each one of the post-it notes for each frame must have been time consuming. The squares create the effect of an old games console with pixalated images and a square grid layout. I really like the over all effect of the technique used.

This idea uses lego blocks and i love the outcome. Could be so simply done to create some amazing effects. I dont like the digitally animated parts of the video i think it spoils its simplicity. Might give this a go at home see if i can create a small clip.



This idea uses a square block of candles, lighting certain candles in each frame. Really effective technique and also think it could work really well in the dark so there was more contrast in the lights.
