ONE OF THE best-known names in stop–motion animation is the award–winning British studio Aardman Animation —the creators of beloved franchises including the iconic Wallace & Gromit.
Stop–motion animation is the art of snapping a photo, moving your subject by a small increment, then snapping another. After repeating the process, you can run the consecutive still images as a series of video frames to make a movie in which your subject appears to move as if it’s a real, living character! The Aardman team has released a free iPhone app —Aardman Animator —that enables you to delight friends, family, and social media followers with your own stop–motion creations. We’ll show you how to put this fun app through its paces.
