Stop-motion has been used as a method of film making since the dawn of the celluloid age. 1898’s The Humpty Dumpty Circus used the technique to bring to life a toy circus of performers and animals. Audiences were captivated by these magical moving images, and as stop-motion animation became more popular filmmakers began using clay modeling and puppets to tell their stories. The technique was also very popular in the avant-garde art circles of the 20s and 30s, which produced surrealist film like Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s Un chien andalou. Now in the age of CGI and digital animation, stop-motion techniques are still widely used, and films like Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas and the Wallace & Gromit series continue to delight moviegoers with their dazzling effects.
