Stop - Motion Animation
Animation has been a significant form throughout the history of cinema, “prompting, informing and responding to each of the technical innovation in production” (Chong, 2008, p. 15).
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. (Brostow & Essa, 2001)

Most recent stop-motion animations include Wallace and Grommit, Chicken run and even children's entertainment programme Pingu!
