Stop-motion animation is a technique in which successive frames of an object or character are photographed in slightly different positions, creating the illusion of movement when the frames are played back in sequence. The term "stop-motion" refers to the process of stopping and starting the camera between each frame to capture the changes in position. This technique has been used in various forms of media, including film, television, and video games, to create a wide range of visual effects and animations.

The history of stop-motion animation dates back to the late 19th century, with early experiments by pioneers such as Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey. However, it was not until the mid-20th century that stop-motion gained widespread recognition and popularity. One of the most notable early stop-motion films is "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" (1926), created by Lotte Reiniger, which used cut-out animation techniques.

In the 1960s and 1970s, stop-motion animation saw a resurgence with the works of Ray Harryhausen, who created iconic creatures and effects for films such as "Jason and the Argonauts" (1963) and "Clash of the Titans" (1981). The technique also gained prominence in television, with shows like "The Puppet Show" and "The Muppet Show" featuring stop-motion puppetry.

Modern stop-motion animation has evolved to include digital techniques, allowing for greater flexibility and precision in creating animations. This has led to the creation of highly detailed and complex stop-motion films, such as "Coraline" (2009) and "The Lego Movie" (2014). Stop-motion animation continues to be a popular and versatile medium, used in both traditional and digital formats to create a wide range of visual effects and animations.
