Stop Motion Technique.

Stop Motion (also known as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved slightly between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Stop Motion is often confused with the time lapse technique, where still photographs of a live surrounding are taken at regular intervals and combined in to a continuous film. 

The Stop Motion technique is one of the techniques that we have been exploring and researching mostly in class lately. This technique will be used in my final piece to create the illusion of movement. I will be creating this technique by shooting my object, moving it slightly then shooting, etc.
