Sledgehammer Peter Gabriel.

Stop motion is also known as stop frame and is made by using a range of photos continuously being taken and put together to make a short film, using different frame sizes.

To create this video, our class all gathered together at @Bristol and produced this Stop Motion & Animation clip. The video is a collection of photographs taken as we moved bit by bit for a different photo. We then put the video together using photoshop with 12 frames per second.
