Stop Motion Photography Lesson 1

What is Stop Motion Photography?

Stop motion animation/photography is the idea filming objects or subjects one frame at a time. Simultaneously with filming subjects one frame at a time, you need to move said subject a little bit in between frames. This is to resemble lifelike motion and that there is movement during your story. 

Do not move your object too much or else it will not look realistic.

The Beginning Process

It is important to remember that each film will need a story and a purpose.

Stop motion photography is best expressed when there is a story to follow. Whether it is a silent film, or one with actors, having development will draw the audience in. In regards to development, a story should have a beginning, a climax and a definitive conclusion. It may help to produce a script before you begin the filming process.

Additionally, there needs to be a purpose. Why are you making this video? Are you trying to tell a story or about a global issue?
