Recent advances in technology--such as high-quality, easy-to-use cameras, free film editing software, and the popularity of YouTube and other video-hosting Web sites--have led to a revival of stop-motion animation.

Here, stop-motion master Melvyn Ternan offers practical instruction for a range of techniques. Readers will find--

  • The basic principles of animation, including how to select and use equipment, props, and storyboards
  • A variety of stop-motion techniques using clay, Legos, paper, and other elements
