Exploring
Stop Motion Photography versus Time Lapse photography
Stop motion photography is often confused with time lapse. While they do share some similarities,
there is a difference. Stop motion is an animation technique recently popularized by claymation in
which the subject is manipulated in between photographs to give the appearance of movement
once the frames are spliced together.
Time lapse, on the other hand, is considered to be a cinematography technique–not animation–
which simply uses still photographs taken at timed intervals to show the subjects natural actions
at a much quicker speed making it appear as though time has lapsed.
