50+ Incredible & Stunning Stop Motion Animation Videos & Tutorials

Hi guys i have already posted about the tutorial of stop moion animation. Today i came across some of the stunning stop motion animation videos from various websites, but i really felt uncomfortable with those videos because they were not ranked so. So i thought ranking it according to my own view because i was able to find some high quality videos in them. But before going to top fifty videos i thought of giving you some basic information and tips for the stop motion animation which is given below:

Stop motion Technique is a simple and very creative hobby. You may think that it is really expensive, but its not like that its just a inexpensive only you need is a typical digital camera and some software with creative ideas.
The Important thing in that stop motion animation is digital camera because animators should be well versed with the camera and they should have creative ideas in shooting the pictures. Likewise by moving the camera with different angle will help you to make you animation an amazing one and stand out.

But this animation has a draw back that because it sometime times appear to b 'strobe' partly due to blur between the frames.

TWO DIMENSION STOP MOTION ANIMATON TECHNIQUE:
Working in two dimensions gives you a lot of creative and inexpensive options. You can simply draw pictures on paper and erase then redraw them to show the motions you want to make. An alternative to erasing is to draw series of pictures on separate sheets of paper and photograph them individually. This can give you extraordinary results but is very challenging to make sure the images stay cleanly tracked without slippage which would make it very jerky and shaky.


An excellent way to draw pictures is to use some kind of an erasable surface. This tends to be much easier than drawing pictures on paper and two excellent mediums for this are the dry erase board and the chalkboard. These make it very easy to erase potions of your drawing and redraw the motions. I highly recommend using a dry erase board if you want to get some great looking animations and if you have some skill in drawing.

Drawing images of figures and objects then cutting them out and using them in animations is an excellent way to get very creative and very expressive animations. There are two important additions you can make to this style of animation. You can cut the drawing into segments to show motion. An example of this would be to draw a human form then cut it into its different parts like arms, legs, head and torso. This way you can move them individually much as a human moves. Another way to enhance cut out drawings is to make multiple drawings of the same object to show motion or rotation. A good example of this would be a face. You would draw multiple faces such as one with the mouth closed and one with the mouth open. This way you can alternate between the drawings and simulate talking.

I mean, watch some of these below and tell me you’re not inspired! And when you’re done, let us know in the comments which ones you liked best (my personal favorite one is the break dancing one).
