The later stage of freeze-frame animation is exactly the same as traditional animation: the shot sequence is imported into the computer, merged into video clips in the software, and then the speed is adjusted on the time axis. Stop-motion animation is usually 2 beats per second (12 frames per second) or 3 beats per second (8 frames per second).

After each shot is adjusted separately, all shots will be imported for final editing. The stunt synthesis part is completely completed in the computer, and the commonly used methods are blue screen keying, motion blur, hand-drawn stunt and erasure support.

Keying synthesis is a very traditional stunt, which is to shoot an object into a solid color (usually blue or green) first. Then shoot the background you need, then superimpose the two pictures together to remove the solid background, and finally get the composite picture, also known as color key technology. Today's PC can do this job, and commonly used video editing software such as Premiere has this function.

advantages and disadvantages

I. Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of stop-motion animation is its low degree of freedom. As we all know, the closer we are to ideology, the freer we will be. On the contrary, the closer we are to matter, the less free we will be and the more bound by various objective laws. From this point of view, the degrees of freedom of the three mainstream animation production forms are: plane animation >; 3D animation >; Stop the motion animation.

Second, advantages

But the same, stop-motion animation also has considerable advantages, the most obvious advantage is the low threshold for producers, and the other is the relatively low investment cost. The reason for the low investment is that the production threshold is lower than the other two animation production methods (plane and 3D), and even many employees can directly start production without excellent professional knowledge.
