Stop frame animation occurs when an image appears to be moving on its own. to make this happen, each picture that is taken is slightly different to the next one. to achieve this the process has to repeat itself. the quicker in which the frame move, the quicker the more smoother the animation will look. This can be seen in such films as Chicken run and Wallice and Gromit the curse of the wear rabbit.

Development:

Pioneers

Joseph Plateau - was a Belgian physicist who developed the phenakitoscope in 1832 and was one of the earliest devices in animation to be developed. The phenakistoscope consisted of two discs together on the same axis,  the first disc slots around the edge, and the second drawings of successive action, drawn around the disc in  circles.When viewed in a mirror through the first disc's slots, the pictures on the second disc will appear to move. 

William Horner- he was born in  1786 and died 22 September 1837. He was the creater of the zoetrope. The way it works is a strip of images are placed into a drum, once the drum is then spun it creates a moving image. William Horner was a mathemation and head master of a school.

Emile Reynaud - he was the inventor that created the Praxinoscope optical toy, and was the first to show cartoon films on a public screen. The praxinoscope was made in In 1876 and was made to amuse young children. . The way it works is a band of pictures are put in a rotating drum and each of the pictures being slightly different to the one next to it. in the middle of the drum are vertical mirrors and then once the drum is spun by hand the image begins to show.

Aadweard Muybridge - was born in 9 April 1830 and died 8 May 1904. he was in important in the development of motion in motion picture. he used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-action photographs and his zoopraxiscope which was a device for projecting motion pictures.

Thomas Eddison - The kinectiscope was device invented by Thomas Edison in 1888.The kinetoscope produces the illusion of movement or animation by using film strips and then moved over a light source with a high speed shutter.

Lumiere Brothers (Auguste and Louis) - they were both the pioneers of early cinema and animation and their invention of cinematography. they created the film of people leaving the lumiere factory and is considered to be the first motion picture.

George Pal - he first started in animation by creating the animation series of the puppetoons in the 1940's. The puppetoons were small wooden figures and after each frame the puppet would change its shape, this was known as replacement animation.
