Stop Motion Animation

Have you ever heard of stop motion? Stop motion is when you take an object, take a picture of it, and then move it just a little bit, then take another picture.
Stop Motion is seen a lot across the internet and on YouTube. Have you ever heard of Pingu? It is a children’s TV show, and is made using stop motion. Here is an example of a stop motion movie:
