“Frame By Frame: The Art of Stop Motion” by PBS Arts: Off Book explores the history and evolution of stop motion animation as an art form.
The magic of stop-motion animation has enthralled audiences for over a century, but with the advent of CGI, many thought it was at risk of extinction. Yet despite these fears, animators all over the world continue to manually create unique stories out of physical materials, be it clay, sand or paint, puppets or people. The amount of time and meticulous effort these animators commit makes stop motion uniquely impressive and refreshingly organic in a digital age, and have driven the art form’s resurgence in film, commercials, and even on Vine!
