Stop motion animation involves taking pictures of incremental movements and combining them to create fluid motion. The 1951 film Suzy Snowflake was made in black and white with poor sound quality but acceptable video quality. While the 1970s film The Sand Castle had poor sound, its quality, colors, and flawless appearance were good given the era. The 21st century film Coraline had excellent sound quality and clear colors, as expected for a modern production.
