	Stop Motion Studies
		The Stop Motion Studies extend my long-standing interest in narrative and, in particular, look at the subway as a stage upon which social dynamics and individual behavior are increasingly mediated by digital technology.
		In 2003, Crawford’s Stop Motion Studies project received an Artport Gate Page Commission from the Whitney Museum of American Art and an Award of Distinction in the Net Vision category at the Prix Ars Electronica.
		In 2004, he received an MSc from Chalmers University of Technology and taught at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

	FAQ
		Stop Motion Animation uses the same principles as drawn or cel animation (cartoons).......a movie camera is used like a still camera.....there are 24 different drawings (which equals one second of movement) and the movie camera shoots one frame (which is one picture) of film for each drawing (in proper sequence).
		Stop motion is used in all sorts of ways from creatures/aliens or fantasy puppet characters.....to cartoonish or stylized puppets.
		Stop Moiton has always had a checkered existence and as I stated above in the FAQ here, stop motion was never fully embraced by the mainstream entertainment business.

	Stop-Motion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Motion blur occurs for much the same reason when you take a still photo of something moving, that moving object will end up blurred.
		But in stop motion cinematography, the object being animated is technically not moving when each frame of film is exposed.
		The results are astonishing: producing motion blur, alleviating the "jerky" motion long attributed to stop-motion animation, and creating fantastically believable creatures come to life.

	Image-Based Motion Blur for Stop Motion Animation - Brostow & Essa
		Stop motion animation is a well-established technique where still pictures of static scenes are taken and then played at film speeds to show motion.
		A major limitation of this method appears when fast motions are desired; most motion appears to have sharp edges and there is no visible motion blur.
		Appearance of motion blur is a strong perceptual cue, which is automatically present in live-action films, and synthetically generated in animated sequences.

	[No title]
		Motion pictures are usually projected at 24 frames a second and video at 30 frames a second (although this comes in the form of two interlaced half frames every 60th of a second).
		Motion picture cameras record by exposing frames (24 a second) one after another so that movement, like a person walking down a street, is captured.
		Because the action was not stopped a proper blur was recorded, but since the monster puppet was being photographed in real-time, it was limited in the actions it could perform.

	Stop Motion Photography
		Stop motion is time consuming and almost a lost art thanks to technology advancements with computer and software.
		In CGI the stop motion is created inside the computers memory, thus allowing the model to be more versatile and detailed.
		Stop Motion is almost gone, but we have the classic feature to make sure we never forget where special effects come from.

		Stop Motion Animation refers to the process of moving physical 3D objects in tiny increments (like a model of a dinosaur or a puppet), photographing each pose individually — thereby stopping the motion.
		The key here is that in stop motion animation you are photographing actual objects and not a sequence of drawings.
		This may not be strictly stop motion, but it’s not strictly traditional hand-drawn animation either.

		Stop motion animation is a unique cross-curricular classroom activity that challenges the creative talents of students of all ages.
		In a nutshell, stop motion animation is a process whereby images of a model, usually made from clay, plasticine, wire, or even Lego, are played back at such a speed that the human brain interprets the series of static images as one continuous stream of action.

		Stop motion involves the use of puppets, which are manually photographed by a still camera.
		Both consider stop motion as a “special art form.” They admire the animator Ray Harryhausen, who did the special effects of several horror films and the prehistoric saga One Million Years B.C. “Yup, that’s the movie that made Raquel Welch a star,” quipped Johnson.
		He said it wasn’t a very brilliant way to begin a career in stop motion, but the passion was already there.

	STOP-MOTION
		Generally, stop motion animation is confined to three dimensional objects, but is also used in paper cut-out animation.
		Usually, if a sequence is one-of-a-kind, in that the movements are not registered to any fixed reference point, or can't be duplicated exactly - it's stop motion.
		Computer motion controlled photography is also stop-motion but the sequence can be exactly repeated any number of times to layer passes for adding lighting and other special effects.

	Re: stop motion -- Matt Lind -- 2001/06/08
		When the motion is faster I suspect that rather than having identical double frames the use different ones per frame.
		This includes the non smooth motion as well as those subtle changes that sometimes happen in the surface of clay models from frame to frame (like if the animatior left some fingerprints on the model when posing it).
		it seems to me that stop motion animators don't shoot at constant rate, taking more pictures when a secuence has faster motion.
