Stop Motion is an old animation technique. It works by taking a photograph of the object, then moving the object a little bit and then taking another photograph. After assembling the photographs to a film, it appears as though the objects would move by themselves. This is similar to the animation of cartoons and is used in many early monster films, like the old King Kong, Godzilla movies or the Wallace and Gromit films.
