Stop-motion animation is one of the most popular styles when creating an explainer video. Stop motion technique, maybe you feel less familiar with the term. If so, then you should first understand the meaning of this one technique and get to know more about its intricacies.

Stop Motion Technique

You could say, that the stop motion technique is a technique where it can make inanimate objects seem capable of moving on their own. Usually, the trick to make the object move is to use a photo frame which will be played in a sequential manner and continuously until the object seems to be moving.

In the 1960s and 1970s, a famous animator named Eliot Noyes Jr. also used this technique. This actually proves that actually stop motion sensors have existed since ancient times. Even along with its current development, this technique can also be used in filmmaking and also making advertisements.

2. Object Animation

If this one-stop motion technique actually uses the objects that are used as the main points.

3. Cut Out Animation

You could say, this one type is quite complicated. Because, Cut Out Animation itself, the animated object must be designed in such a way, then drawn on a sheet of paper, and the paper is cut and adjusted to the shape that was made earlier.

Then later the object will be placed on a flat plane as the background.

4. Puppet Animation

6. Graphic Animation

For this type, images or photos play a very important role because they are used for animated objects in it.

7. Silhouette Animation

Of course, you already know that this type of stop-motion animation uses objects that are cut out and then assembled as dark shadows. However, for now, silhouette animation itself is quite popular as a work of art.
