Stop motion/ morph/ chicken run - Print to pixel



Stop motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small parts between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Motion animation using clay is called clay animation or clay-mation.
Morph is an animated Plasticine stop-motion character. Morph and Chas appeared in shorts on the British children's TV programme SMart. Morph is a very simple creation which is effective when put into animation. I was think of playing with the idea of clay/plasticine. But one thing which will be vital, is that i need to keep it at a minimal but make sure its effective.



Chicken Run is a 2000 British stop-motion animation film made by the Aardman Animations studios. The film centres around a band of chickens, who seek a smooth-talking Rhode Island Red named Rocky as their only hope to escape from their certain death when the owners of their farm decide to move from selling eggs to selling chicken pies.
I like the idea of having clay/ plasticine as the main thing in the animation but it also depends on timing.
