Abstract

Since the beginning of creation, stop-motion animation has attracted the attention of countless viewers and creators because of its unique artistic style and particular art form. The main reason is that stop-motion animation gives people a new experience of watching movies so that people are in a fictional space and time created by real objects, and the audience can feel an inevitable natural feeling. This sense of reality deviates from the reality of time and space in the film, creating a strange yet familiar feeling of being in another space parallel to the real world. The contrast between the realism of the stop-motion technique and the fantastical nature of the story adds to the unique appeal of stop-motion animation compared to the omnipotent CGI. This paper focuses on the characteristics of stop-motion animation in terms of character building, scene construction, and sound effects. From these aspects, we systematically analyze the creation of realism and illusion in stop-motion animation, trying to find out the unique features of stop-motion animation that distinguish it from other types of animation, and also to produce more sophisticated animation works.
