Over the past couple of weeks, we've been developing our skills in Illustrator and we are beginning to change path over to Animation. For this blog post, I chose the topic of Stop Motion Animation as I find it interesting how realistic some of these films can be. For those who don't know, Stop Motion Animation is basically where someone takes several photos in small increments to create the illusion of motion. What you do while creating this is you take whatever the scene you're filming and very slightly alter the scene as if it would be a split second later over and over again. Some of the most famous stop motion animations include The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. I think that my some of my skills from Photoshop and Illustrator will help transfer over as they have taught me how to use a program and how to approach learning new software. The link above is a video of an example of a way that you can use stop motion. The entire scene doesn't have to be completely stop motion, instead, you can have green screens set up to add to the scene to make it more complex. This link is a for a video where a stop motion animator goes into detail on how he does his job and how it's performed. I found this video very interesting because it shows you how much effort and detail they put into these films and it really allows you to see just how much time they spend on their work. Conclusion

I have been following you from the beginning. Animations are visual representations created through the manipulation of images, graphics, or models to simulate movement. They can be used for entertainment, education, marketing, and more. Animations are produced using various techniques, including traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and stop-motion animation. They bring characters, objects, and environments to life, captivating audiences and conveying messages effectively through motion and storytelling. Animations have become increasingly prevalent across various media platforms due to their versatility and engaging nature.
