Stop frame animation, also known as claymation, involves shooting animated characters made of materials like plasticine one frame at a time to create the illusion of movement. Wallace and Gromit used some frame duplication to simulate motion blur. Stop frame animation was also used in the 1970s and 1980s with paper or other rare materials. The frame rate, or number of unique frames per second, determines how smooth the animation appears, with 24+ frames per second appearing most natural.

* After detailed storyboarding, with leading artists and
animators, the moves of each character are shot one
frame at a time, to give them human-like gestures and
movements.
* In Wallace and Gromit, some frames were duplicated
because of the little movement they made, to create a
faux motion blur.
* Stop frame animation was also used in the 70’s and 80’s
but with paper models or resources that were extremely
rare.

3. * Frame rate, or frame frequency, is the frequency
(rate) at which an imaging device produces unique
consecutive images called frames.
* The term applies equally well to computer
graphics, video cameras, film cameras, and motion
capture systems
* The More frame rates there are in a scene, it then
becomes more smooth, and with less jumps in
between the scenes.
*

4. * When a scene has only got less than 10 images per
second make the shot look distorted and
irregular, and also quite jumpy and cause it to not
flow properly
.
* Images appear to move when they’re just pictures
* In a scene, when there are ,ore than 24 images per
second, and the images are smoother and appear to
flow better.
*

5. * Wallace and Gromit are main characters in the British
television series created by Nick Park of Aardman
Animaion.
* The characters are made entirely out of plastecine and is
created into stop motion clay animation
* Wallace and Gromit have their own feature lenth
film, called The Curse of the Ware Rabbit, which took 15
months to make and film.

6. * Pingu was originally created for Swiss television and was
created by an artist called Otmar Gutmann and was written
by Silvio Mazzola and trickfilm studios.
* Pingu then moved to the UK and became a massive hit on the
BBC and CBBC channel as one of the best children’s
animations known to man.
*

7. * Creator of films such as; A Nightmare Before
Christmas, Frankenweenie (1984 and in 2012 as
a remake) Also Sweeny Todd, Corpse Bride and
many more.
* His themes are normally quite similar, with the
Corpse Bride and A nightmare Before Christmas
having characters that are very alike.
* Tim has done previous collaborations with
other directors from different films.
