Industry Context: Development of the Stop Motion Animation Industry

Pass 1 Describe the techniques and development of stop motion animation with some appropriate use of subject terminology

Merit 1 Explain the techniques and development of stop motion animation with reference to detailed illustrative examples and with generally correct use of subject terminology.

Distinction 1 Comprehensively explain the techniques and development of stop motion animation with elucidated examples and consistently using subject terminology correctly.



For the first assessed part of this unit you will need to come up with treatment for your own collection of animated clips. As part of this you are required (by the examiners) to demonstrate your knowledge of the way in which the Stop Motion industry has developed. The assessment criteria for this element of your project work are above.

This session will help you collect the information that you need.

Objective: Be able to discuss the development of the Stop Motion Animation Industry using relevant examples.

Task 1: Working in teams, research the 6 stop motion topics below.

Task 2: Take part in group quiz on these topics - make notes/recordings of any extra information that you feel would be useful.

Task 3: Complete your own write up on the “Development of the Stop Motion Industry” using the Quiz questions to help you. Use links to Stop Motion sequences to illustrate key points.
(To be completed by next session as homework if necessary)

  • How & when stop motion began.
  • Early (pre 1950’s) Pioneers of stop motion.
  • Stop Motions ‘Golden era”.
  • Rise of CGI.
  • Resurgence of stop motion.
  • Creative arguments for stop motion vs CGI.
