Stop motion animation is a technique where physically manipulated objects are photographed in small increments to create the illusion of movement when the frames are played sequentially. The first use of stop motion was in 1898 by Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton for The Humpty Dumpty Circus. Some famous stop motion animators mentioned are Leo Bridle, Jan Švankmajer, and Willie Hopkin. Stop motion videos are popular on YouTube and use a variety of materials like cutouts, Legos, clay, and characters photographed in increments to create the illusion of motion.
