Stop Motion or Animation?

These videos are very creative and well done.



In this video, the "c" word appears briefly near the beginning.





Stop Motion: Awesome Object Animation

These stop motion videos were created by PES.  They’ve made some of the most widely viewed stop motion films of all-time, including over 50 commercials for major brands such as Google, Honda, Playstation, and Samsung.

Stop Motion: Legos

A guy named Michael Hickox is making high quality Lego videos.  This one is called “Pizza Delivery.”


Michael answers frequently asked questions about his videos.

Stop Motion: Clay

Morph is a British clay stop motion (claymation) character invented in the 70’s, although new episodes have been made in the last couple years.  This episode is called “Stuck.”  Morph is the reddish-orange character, and the gray character is Chas, Morph’s very mischievous friend.  Many episodes revolve around them competing and playing tricks on each other.


Short documentary about Morph.

Stop Motion: Marker


Stop Motion: People

People play a central role in these stop motion videos.

Entered by a student in an HSLDA homeschool contest.  The theme was generosity.
