Stop motion animation (also known as stop frame animation) is an animation technique that captures one frame at a time, by physically moving objects between frames. The illusion of movement is created when you play back the sequence of images quickly. Stop motion is very similar to 2D animation (early Disney) where each frame is drawn differently to create movement between each frame. Stop motion is similar except it uses physical objects instead of drawings ("Introduction To Stop Motion Animation | Dragonframe"). Here is a helpful video for how stop animation works:
Stop motion is very popular, it can be seen in numerous areas of the media, such as music videos, advertisements, shows, YouTube and feature films ("Introduction To Stop Motion Animation | Dragonframe").
