Stop-motion Animation explores how all the elements of film-making-camera work, design, colour, lighting, editing, music and storytelling - come together in this unique art form. With tips and suggestions to help you get the most out of your films, and with examples from some of the masters of the craft, Barry Purves shows how to make the most of the movement, characters and stories that typify stop-motion. With dozens of beautiful examples from around the world, this new edition includes a project in each chapter, with pointers on finding a story and characters, developing script and story board, constructing puppets and the practicalities of film-making. These projects combine to lead you through the creation of your first one-minute stop-motion animation. - Provided by the publisher
