It might be fun to make stop motion about a chair moving across the room all by itself, but it is not very creative. ‘Random’ movies, ie, actions without any particular story or logic, are popular, but are often an excuse for lazy thinking. A story doesn’t always need words, but it should show a progression of ideas in a way that benefits the audience. Every movie, whether it is a work of fiction or an informative non-fiction topic, needs to have something to say. The story – Why should someone should watch your movie? Your story doesn’t have to be original, but you need to tell it well. There are two broad aspects to making good stop motion movies: In iStopMotion this is called ‘single’ mode. When the pictures match the soundtrack the character comes alive. AnimationĪ repeating process of 1) recording a picture of a character or object, and 2) moving the character or object a small amount to dramatise a story or demonstrate a process. There are two main types of stop motion – time lapse and animation: Time lapseĪn automatic recording of a sequence of pictures at a certain time interval to produce a faster view of an event. When the pictures are viewed quickly, one after the other, our eyes are ‘tricked’ into thinking the objects in the pictures are moving.
