Stop-Motion Animation is created through the stringing together of a series of images that depict changes over time.

* a flipbook is the simplest form of stop-motion animation


Images in the sequence are set to a particular frame rate which is called Frames Per Second or FPS

Traditional animation's frame rate is 12 FPS

Modern 3D animation is displayed at 30 FPS

Stop-Motion animation can have a frame rate from 4 FPS to 30 FPS

* a slow frame rate like 3 seconds per frame would be a slide show.


Types of Stop-Motion
- Movement of the camera through space
- Movement of an object(s) and/ or people
- Changes of a drawing
