In this clip from the movie The Boxtrolls (it’s the end credits scene), you see how the stop motion animation of that beautiful film was made. There aren’t any shortcuts, somebody has to move the characters, move out of the way, film it and then move the characters over and over again to get it right.
Making the stop motion animation look perfect takes forever.
