a dying art
sucks that kubo didn't do well

Too hard to make porn of

Has there ever been a stop motion porno? I think I'd be more impressed by a fanmade one than one with a budget.

can this meme stop? Laika will never die

what is Anomalisa

God bless Nike money

An underrated medium that popculture should invest into more.

Amazing form of art that I appreciate in absolutely any form that is used.
I used to catalog every single used of stop-motion I'd find, but that was way in the past.

You summed up everything I wanted to say.

claymation aside, I love how jarring live-action stop motion looks and wish it saw more use in horrormovies

I have a mild phobia of this stuff. A whole lot of time and effort for such a creepy medium. There's really no point.


Robot Chicken is okay though since it's mostly dolls but even the clay eyes popping out is pretty creepy to me.

honestly, i don't particular like it. Some people are very good at it, but i always feel like you could do the same in less amount of time with cgi nowadays(i admit there was a time when this wasn't possible, but it's different now)
but it doesn't bring anything to the table other than low framerate and doll clothes on characters that are suppose to be normal sized humans.

I love stop motion, growing up as an 80's/90's kid, I always thought it was cooler than CG

Top tier animation. Especially thanks to Nick Park, who popularized it for the late 20th century, and Laika Studios, for keeping it in the public eye, however fleeting it may be.

If it's done by Aardman I say YES

You're Cred Forums.

What do you think of stop motion?

When Tim Burton does it, I want to gouge my eyes out. Watching it once was once too often. :P

I enjoy it. I just wish those that did it were less pretentious about it.

I kind of think it can be creepy at times. And clay and furry dolls never seem to do emotion and facial expression all that well.

Mr. Fox looks very primitive and doesn't have the range of facial expression and body movement that Nick Wilde does. It feels very stiff and low frame-rate, like your playing with action figures, not watching a cartoon about a fox.

Love it
Just got back from a thing with Henry Selick and got to see scenes from Shadow King.

>all animation has to look the same
fuck off

That Wallace and Gromit movie with the Wererabbit was pretty choice.

Everything made by Aardman is at least good, they got me into watching the Shaun the Sheep series, which I'm pretty sure is aimed at 3-6 years old kids

It's scary!

Everything stop motion looks scary!

Go ahead, look at anything stop motion with the lights off and tell me if you don't see that Wallace motherfucker looking at you from the shadows.

It's a huge waste of time and resources that serves no purpose in the modern world.

So, like the rest of the animation industry then?

Shaun The Sheep is pretty good, although I wish Aardman didn't put so much focus on the franchise.

anomalisa sucked

The movie was also pretty good, and besides, I think they're moving forward with new projects

the aardman DC nation shorts sucked more than TTG

To the untrained eye, it's really no different from CGI. Even the trained eye is having trouble now that stop-motion movies are using 3D printers.

Cred Forums Pass user since October 2016.

I see, I've never seen them

Two of my fave kids shows used stop motion.
Trap Door and Morph.
I still watch Trap Door from time to time and I'm going to be 30 this month.
There needs to be more of it and less horrific 3D animation.
There won't be because its expensive and time consuming whereas shitty 3D can be made my a retarded colorblind guy with one arm in 1/5th of the time.

What did you guys think of Anomalisa? I guess it's a technical masterpiece of stop-motion but I didn't really enjoy it that much for some reason?

That was a close shave, wasn't it Gromit?

It's something you do for the art, because quite frankly it takes far too much time, work and money to do it over other methods

Needs to be used in more live action. Any other examples like pic related?

Claymation is my favourite form of animation.

have you seen $9.99?

what did you think?

Not yet, but it's on my list of things to watch. Sounds interesting enough, though.

If I'm going to be honest I've never liked it because it almost always triggers that "uncanny valley" effect for me and creeps me out.

Seriously, Cred Forums Pass?

>watched cheesy lego stop motion videos in early 2000's
>tried it myself
>got instantly irradiated

I respect the art but do not have the patience

That wasn't stop-motion, actually. It was puppetry filmed at half-speed.

>irradiated

It's a hue, huge pain in the ass.

I think it looks like shit. Inferior to 2D animation.

dont fall for the meme.. it doesnt show Cred Forums pass users in their posts. OP is just a fucking faggot

It takes a lot of time to master, but when you do master it, it's probably the most satisfying feeling you can get from working in animation. Not to say the others don't take effort, but it seems like stop motion would be the most draining and time consuming of the mediums. It takes one patient motherfucker to master it.
It's great for horror, too. Bobby Yeah is still the most uncomfortable thing I've ever watched.

It can look really fucking good. I thought most of Anomalisa looked really amazing, and that scene in Moral Orel where Clay is walking through the house in first person is gorgeous, and also when he gives that speech in the bar.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the guy who's moving little clay people fractions of an inch for months on end though.

bretty fucking creepy when done wrong but fantastic done right

Too much motion not enough stop.

>>got instantly irradiated
did you died

They're doing a caveman project now.

I'm always very impressed by it. I like Ray Harryhousen stuff, Rankin-Bass Holiday Specials, James and the Giant Peach and Corlaline.

Also Robot Chicken.

It seems to be doing well compared to hand-drawn animation, at least in the west.

I mean it's not mainstream but you've got a couple of studios chugging them out every couple of years and more artsy film-makers using it as a go to.

Honestly I think that's hand-drawn's problem. All the big studios are reliant on money-making CGI, but it's been so domineering over the last century, independents and artisians still view it as too mainstream.
Unless their french.

>but it doesn't bring anything to the table
It brings human error to the table. That's not something that's easy to fake with CGI.

eastern europe stopmotion is the best. Just look at that

Robot Chicken helped keep it alive

Star Wars

And goddamn, why is it so hard to find .gifs that aren't shitty high-contrast two second Tumblr .gifs?

In a word - art.

Anamolisa was a great movie

Because it's 2016 you nigger, we use webm now

Man. Imagining trying to do a lot of this shit without the aid of modern greenscreen tech.

I hate it

it's more alive than 2D bro. USA hasn't seen a 2D animated movie since 2009.

Anyone have a good video or article explaining how stop motion is done or showcasing the process? Or explain it themselves?

I've never quite understood it, I know they have models made, and they move them around a bit, but how much is done on a computer?


I see this and I think it surely can't take that many movements and that much time just gor what really a simply walk. An entire film seems like it'd take far too long to really be feasible doing and then there's the other stuff you have to animate that you can't do with a static model

You must have autism to do this shit
I can't imagine spending whole day pushing puppets millimeter per millimeter

Not as much as you might think. Computers are used mostly for compositing complex shots and covering up wires and rigging.

Anomalisa is about stop-motion characters fucking

I love how you can see the same guy going through several different shirts. True testament to how low this can take.

God damn how long does this shit take compared to regular animation?

A long, long fucking time.

Stop motion making is not that different from traditional 2d animation,keyframing,steps,timing and spacing,streching...same rules,mostly of time.
