Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion Animation is a channel showcasing short films using one of the oldest animation techniques in the world.

The animator slightly moves an object between frames, thus bringing the object to life when these frames are played continuously. The videos contained in this channel, hosted by online website Crackle, represent various stop motion methods including claymation, cutout animation, and graphic animation. Each video in the Stop Motion Animation channel is regarded as a short film with a duration of under ten minutes.

Browsers can access video controls by hovering over the player. Links beneath the player allow fans to add it to a personal website or playlist, share it with friends or a social network, or flag it for offensive content.

Text underneath the video player gives a short synopsis of the film and its messages and themes. Users can navigate to other episodes in the series by clicking the images beneath the player. Each episode is filmed in high-definition video, to ensure the quality is excellent even when viewing in full-screen mode.

Stop Motion Animation videos are free to watch. However, fans can enjoy extra privileges by signing up for a free Crackle account. This allows users to create a profile page and save and comment on their favorite videos. This profile automatically keeps track of the last 300 videos viewed.
