Editing Go motion (section)

== History ==
In the 1920s, [[Ladislas Starevich]] started using this technique by the time he started making films in France. He moved the puppet or the set during the exposure of the frame to create motion blur.<ref name="Go motion">[https://filmschoolrejects.com/how-go-motion-animation-works/ How the Special Effect of “Go Motion” Works]</ref> Some of this can be seen in films like ''The Midnight Wedding'', ''Love in Black and White'', ''The Voice of the Nightingale'' or ''The Little Parade'' and more extensively in the battle scene of ''The Queen of the Butterflies'' (1924) and ''The Mascot'' (1933).

[[Phil Tippett]] and Industrial Light & Magic later recreated the go motion technique for some shots of the [[tauntaun]] creatures and [[AT-AT]] walkers in the [[1980 in film|1980]] ''[[Star Wars]]'' film ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.{{sfn|Smith|1986|page=90}} After that, go motion was used for many other movies: for the dragon in ''[[Dragonslayer (1981 film)|Dragonslayer]]'' (1981),{{sfn|Smith|1986|pages=91–95}} the [[dinosaur]]s in the prehistoric documentaries ''[[Prehistoric Beast]]'' (1984)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlaXIRTjNfo|title=Phil Tippett's Prehistoric Beast|date=14 April 2011 |via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> and ''[[Dinosaur!

The last film using go motion was ''[[Coneheads (film)|Coneheads]]'' (1993).<ref name="Go motion"/> Other minor sequences using go motion appeared in films like the first three ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' installments (1981–1989) and ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'' (1982).

With the completion of ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' (1993), Tippett Studio abandoned go motion and fully converted its teams and equipment to CG [[computer-graphics]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/film/philtippett/articles/motion-control.html|title=Phil Tippett - Articles|website=[[Angelfire]]}}</ref>
