We have a thread about laika films and their stop motion animations, well there are more stop motion animation studios than them like Aardman who made Wallace and Gromit.
This thread is to list our favourite stop motion animations and say why. Here are mine:
Coraline
Chicken Run
Wallace and Gromit: A close shave (scared the hell out of me when I was a kid)
But these’s are more claymation, not stop motion. 'Cause the clay figurines are made up and then the rest is animated on a computer. Stop motion is taking a series of photos back to back and editing them together to make a video.
I don’t know about Wallace and gromit but Coraline is definitely stop motion.
Hm… I guess the Wallace and Gromit films/series might be made in different ways but this is what Wikipedia says hehe
The Wallace and Gromit films are shot using the stop motion animation technique. After detailed storyboarding, set and plasticine model construction, the films are shot one frame at a time, moving the models of the characters slightly to give the impression of movement in the final film.
There’s people here that actually like Fantastic Mr. Fox? I’m so happy! I love that movie. Watched it twice and I’m thinking of watching it again this summer.
I actually researched Wallace and Gromit before I included them in the list, I just thought I’d let you know also I’ve watched a few documantaries and “the making of” in regards to them. While they are made of clay they are still stop motion. I researched a bit more though and claymation is actually kinda a subgenre of stop motion which is pretty rad and it means technically they count so I’ll leave the OP as it is. But in terms of Wallace and Gromit, they have been a huge part of my childhood so I did know about them before I made the thread.
It probably can like have elements of both to speed things up since it takes so long to make something using purely stop motion. But I think if you use more claymation than stop motion then it gets classed as a claymation (?) I don’t know
Coraline was made using 3D animation aswell as stop motion so I’m not sure about having it in the OP but either way it contains stop motion so it wouldn’t be wrong.
