Stop Motion Animation Research
Edweard Muaybridge was did something that was simlair to stop motion useng a zeotrope which was like a bowl shaped object that the images where stuckonto the inside of the bowl which had slits in the shides which was lit from below so that the images where well lit and easy to see you would then spin the bowl and look though the slits in the sides that would then make the image look like it was moveing and the faster you span it the faster the images went so that the faster the animation played.
later on when film cameras and projectors where more common the more stop motion was created as it was easyer to create them you took a series of images on film and then put them on to a reel and the play them though a projecter would create the stop motion image.
One of the most famouse stop motion animaters was Willis O'brien who created the film The Lost world in 1925 which became famous due to the way he created it he later went onto create the film King Kong in 1933. which was a stop motion animation mixed with live action as many of the dinsuars where toys but King Kong was played by an actor in a gurila suit. he then taught Ray Harryhausen who became very famouse in the 1950s and 60s for many diffrent films for example The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955), 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) he was also famouse for his visual effects.
Some companys still use clay-mation today for example the creates of Wallace and Gromit used clay mation for all of their episodes and films of Wallace and Gromit. They spend months on what is normally a 1 hour long tv show or more depending on iff it is a movie such as wrong trousers or another one of the work.
