Are stop motion movies considered animation?
According to the Wikipedia, the
word Animation means
a dynamic medium in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as moving
images. In animation terms those objects are referred to as Models. As we can
see, most anime characters are inanimate that is, they do not possess life. It
is therefore your job as the animator to give them life, by moving the objects (Animating), in quick or slow successions;
in order for the viewers to perceive movements as if done by animate characters.
So, in my own opinion, the answer
is YES, stop motion movies can be considered animation! Objects from paper cut,
to hand drawn (Traditional), or
computer generated (2 or 3D), all
fall under these category of ‘OBJECTS’
as defined by the wiki. Hence, Models from stop motion too are not left behind
in this group - In fact, STOP MOTION
is one of the basic types of animation that we currently have.
