STOP MOTION VIDEOS

This is one of the coolest filmmaking techniques in use today

Stop motion videos can add great flare to your documentary project.

Stop motion (or stop action) refers to a filmmaking technique where an object is photographed one frame at a time as it is placed in a different spot.

When all the photographs are shown together very fast, it appears as though the object is moving on it’s own.

The effect creates a very unique and surreal moving picture. The filmmakers of the hit documentary King Corn brilliantly used this effect using individual kernals of corn.

It's a painstakingly slow process and requires tons of patience. But if you stick with it, you can end up with stunning and fascinating results.
