Editing Stop motion (section)

==Variations of stop-motion==
===Stereoscopic stop-motion===
Stop-motion has very rarely been shot in [[stereoscopic]] [[three-dimensional space|3D]] throughout film history. The first 3D stop-motion short was ''In Tune With Tomorrow'' (also known as ''Motor Rhythm''), made in 1939 by John Norling. The second stereoscopic stop-motion release was ''The Adventures of Sam Space'' in 1955 by Paul Sprunck. The third and latest stop-motion short in stereo 3D was ''The Incredible Invasion of the 20,000 Giant Robots from Outer Space'' in 2000 by Elmer Kaan<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elmerkaan.com|title=Elmer Kaan|publisher=Elmer Kaan|access-date=2010-04-24|archive-date=2021-01-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122211456/https://elmerkaan.com/|url-status=usurped}}</ref> and Alexander Lentjes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.moonridge5.com/credits_alexander_lentjes.html |title=Alexander Lentjes |publisher=Moonridge5.com |access-date=2010-04-24 |archive-date=2018-11-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181130132454/http://www.moonridge5.com/credits_alexander_lentjes.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=3-D Revolution Productions |url=http://www.the3drevolution.com/animation.html |title=Animation |publisher=The3drevolution.com |access-date=2010-04-24}}</ref> This is also the first ever 3D stereoscopic stop-motion and CGI short in the history of film. The first all stop-motion 3D feature is ''[[Coraline (film)|Coraline]]'' (2009), based on [[Neil Gaiman]]'s [[Coraline|best-selling novel]] and directed by Henry Selick.
Another recent example is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] video software which comes with the option for Stop-Motion videos. This has been released December 8, 2011 as a 3DS system update. Also, the film ''[[ParaNorman]]'' is in 3D stop-motion.

===Go motion===
{{Main| Go motion}}

Another more complicated variation on stop-motion is [[go motion]], co-developed by [[Phil Tippett]] and first used on the films ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' (1980), ''[[Dragonslayer (1981 film)|Dragonslayer]]'' (1981), and the ''[[RoboCop]]'' films. Go motion involved programming a computer to move parts of a model slightly during each exposure of each frame of film, combined with traditional hand manipulation of the model in between frames, to produce a more realistic [[motion blur]]ring effect. Tippett also used the process extensively in his 1984 short film ''[[Prehistoric Beast]]'', a 10 minutes long sequence depicting a herbivorous dinosaur (''[[Monoclonius]]''), being chased by a carnivorous one (''[[Tyrannosaurus]]''). With new footage ''Prehistoric Beast'' became ''[[Dinosaur! (1985 film)|Dinosaur!]]'' in 1985, a full-length dinosaurs documentary hosted by [[Christopher Reeve]]. Those Phil Tippett's go motion tests acted as motion models for his first photo-realistic use of computers to depict dinosaurs in ''[[Jurassic Park (film)|Jurassic Park]]'' in 1993. A low-tech, manual version of this blurring technique was originally pioneered by [[Ladislas Starevich|Władysław Starewicz]] in the silent era, and was used in his feature film ''[[The Tale of the Fox]]'' (1931).
