The 36 pages that link to Stop motion, each with the reason it gives.

• AnimationBroader topic: Each frame records a small change to a real object rather than a newly drawn scene.

• Computer animationCompared with: It builds movement from photographed physical changes instead of computer-generated frames.

• Georges MélièsCompared with: Unlike Méliès's camera-stop substitutions, stop motion builds movement from many frame-by-frame changes.

• Special effectRelated: It turns physical models into moving characters and worlds through frame-by-frame photography.

• Limited animationCompared with: It creates movement through incremental object changes rather than reducing drawn frames.

• King Kong (1933 film)Related: Willis O’Brien animated Kong frame by frame, giving the creature expressive movement.

• PuppetryCompared with: It shares material figures with puppetry but constructs movement through successive photographs.

• Walt Disney Animation StudiosCompared with: It creates movement through photographed objects rather than the studio’s drawn or computer-generated imagery.

• Traditional animationCompared with: It shares frame-by-frame photography but moves physical objects instead of drawn images.

• Tim BurtonRelated: Burton’s stop-motion projects extend his handmade, uncanny imagery beyond live-action filmmaking.

• Miniature effectCompared with: Stop motion animates models frame by frame; miniature effects usually film models continuously.

• Wes AndersonRelated: Anderson uses handcrafted stop-motion to extend his visual style into animation.

• Cel animationCompared with: It creates motion by repositioning objects rather than changing drawings on cels.

• Japanese animationCompared with: It contrasts with the drawn and digitally rendered methods common in Japanese animation.

• MuppetCompared with: Stop-motion figures move through frame-by-frame animation, while Muppets are generally performed live.

• Jurassic ParkCompared with: The production considered stop motion before choosing computer animation for many dinosaur shots.

• Cutout animationNarrower topic: Cutout animation belongs to this broader frame-by-frame filmmaking method.

• Guillermo del ToroRelated: His Pinocchio adaptation uses the technique to make handcrafted materials central to the film’s texture.

• Live-action filmCompared with: It photographs physical objects, yet produces motion through frame-by-frame animation.

• Vitagraph StudiosRelated: Vitagraph’s early trick films used frame-by-frame manipulation to create visual effects.

• AnimatronicsCompared with: Stop motion builds movement frame by frame rather than through continuous mechanisms.

• Ray HarryhausenNarrower topic: The frame-by-frame movement of models underlies Harryhausen's creature effects.

• The TerminatorRelated: Stop-motion animation brought the damaged endoskeleton to life in the climax.

• Lotte ReinigerNarrower topic: Reiniger animated physical cutouts frame by frame rather than drawing each image.

• Michel GondryRelated: The technique underlies several of his handmade music-video effects.

• King KongNarrower topic: Kong’s original screen performance was built one photographed pose at a time.

• ClaymationNarrower topic: Claymation is a stop-motion technique whose figures are reshaped between exposures.

• Émile CohlCompared with: Cohl’s drawn figures differ from animation built by repositioning physical objects.

• History of animationRelated: It enabled films to animate puppets, models, and everyday objects frame by frame.

• Play-DohRelated: Modeling compound can be reshaped slightly between frames to animate figures.

• Ernie KovacsRelated: His television sketches used frame-by-frame tricks to animate objects and defy physical logic.

• Jan ŠvankmajerCompared with: Unlike conventional live action, this technique makes objects appear to act by themselves.

• Modelling clayRelated: Non-drying clay figures can be reshaped slightly between frames.

• Nick ParkNarrower topic: Park’s clay characters are animated frame by frame using this technique.

• Sand art and playCompared with: Sand animation can use stop-motion methods, though live sand drawing changes continuously before an audience.

• Willis H. O'BrienNarrower topic: O’Brien animated miniature creatures by changing their poses between exposures.
