Stop Motion Animation

Stop motion animation is the process of taking a pictures of moving objects and turning it in to an animation. This type of animation is harder to do as if you do something wrong like forget to add something in the scene then you have to completely redo the animation, an example of this would be using the wrong resolution or if the camera moved and you cant get it back to the exact position.

For the camera I used my own Nikon Coolpix that I got for Christmas a couple of years back and to put the frames together I imported them in to blender as a image sequence and set the fps to 30 and rendered it as a video. The whole animation took 178 photos and was only 5 seconds long. The huge advantage of using stop motion animation is that it is easy to achieve higher resolution, this animation I did was originally 5k but I had to lower it to 800x600 so it could be turned to a GIF.

Here is a stop motion animation I made in class:
