Stop Motion Animation Software

After, a series of individual frames is programmed to be played in a nonstop progression to give the effect of a continuously moving object.

A stop animation production using Lego bricks is typically known as a brickfilm and a production using clay may be called claymation, clay animation, or plasticine.** Stop motion animation software has also been used to create computer games using sound effects and background music.
