what is puppet stop motion animation
At the same time, despite the frustrations, stop-motion has a unique appeal, says Henry Selick: âAll high-calibre animation requires a large skill-set and infinite patience. What sets stop-motion apart is that itâs the closest to live-action in terms of real sets, lights, props, hair, wardrobe, etc. In stop-motion, every scene thatâs animated is an actual performance by the animator through the puppet, recorded one frame at a time, and youâre pretty much stuck with the final result. Funny thing, this is one of the aspects about stop-motion I love the most, this high-wire act of total commitment that gives the animation a vitality not found in the other types.â Anomalisa is released in the UK on 11 March and in Australia on 4 February.
