I’m always amused by stop-motion. Always. I’m amused at the sheer idea of it. What the audience perceives to be a continuous action in real life, in actuality is a slowed down, laborious process, where each frame is carefully designed and orchestrated.
Think about the calculation of timing and everything the next time you watch a stop-motion film:
- Typically 24 frames per second
- The image changes about every 2 frames.
- 12 pictures per second, 60 sec/minute
- That adds up to about 720 pictures/minute
So the next time you watch a stop-motion movie, just recognize that someone orchestrated hundreds and hundreds of singular, solitary frames just so that you can enjoy one minute of their film.
