==Stop-motion in other media==
Many young people begin their experiments in movie making with stop-motion, thanks to the ease of modern stop-motion software and online video publishing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.claynation.co.uk/about/ |title=About ClayNation stop motion animation |publisher=ClayNation.co.uk |access-date=2011-01-06}}</ref> Many new stop-motion shorts use clay animation into a new form.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blu-tack.co.uk/filmmaker |title=Blu-Tack - Make Our Next Advert |publisher=Blu-tack.co.uk |access-date=2010-04-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211035210/http://www.blu-tack.co.uk/filmmaker |archive-date=2010-02-11 }}</ref>

Singer-songwriter [[Oren Lavie]]'s music video for the song [[Her Morning Elegance]] was posted on YouTube on January 19, 2009. The video, directed by Lavie and Yuval and Merav Nathan, uses stop-motion and has achieved great success with over 25.4 million views, also earning a 2010 Grammy Award nomination for "Best Short Form Music Video".

Stop-motion has occasionally been used to create the characters for [[Video game|computer games]], as an alternative to CGI. The [[Virgin Interactive Entertainment]] [[Mythos Games|Mythos]] game [[Magic and Mayhem]] (1998) featured creatures built by stop-motion specialist Alan Friswell, who made the miniature figures from modelling clay and latex rubber, over armatures of wire and ball-and-socket joints. The models were then animated one frame at a time, and incorporated into the CGI elements of the game through digital photography. "[[ClayFighter (video game)|ClayFighter]]" for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] and [[The Neverhood]] and ''[[Hylics 2]]''<ref>{{Cite news |last=O'Connor |first=Alice |last2= |first2= |date=2020-06-22 |title=Claymation RPG Hylics 2 is out now |url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/claymation-rpg-hylics-2-is-out-now |access-date=2024-07-02 |work=Rock, Paper, Shotgun |language=en}}</ref> for the [[Personal computer|PC]] are other examples.

Scientists at IBM used a [[scanning tunneling microscope]] to single out and move individual atoms which were used to make characters in ''[[A Boy and His Atom]]''. This was the tiniest scale stop-motion video made at that time.<ref>{{Citation |title=A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie | date=30 April 2013 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSCX78-8-q0 |access-date=2023-07-12 |language=en}}</ref>

Replicating the distinct tactile look of traditional stop-motion has gained popularity in contemporary media through the use of CGI. This approach can often provide a more cost-effective and accessible means of achieving the stop-motion aesthetic. Noteworthy among such endeavors is the work of [[Blender (software)|Blender]] animator Ian Worthington, exemplified by his 2021 short film "Captain Yajima".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shields |first=Meg |date=2021-05-19 |title=Drop What You're Doing and Watch 'Captain Yajima' |url=https://filmschoolrejects.com/captain-yajima/ |access-date=2023-08-29 |website=Film School Rejects |language=en-US}}</ref> Another prominent example of this trend includes [[The Lego Movie|''The LEGO Movie'']], which uses CGI to replicate the visual style and imperfections of stop-motion.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Comiskey |first=Andrea |date=2023-08-04 |title=From Legos to CGI: An Interview with Kris Theorin – Senses of Cinema |url=https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2023/the-geometry-of-movement-computer-generated-imagery-in-film/from-legos-to-cgi-an-interview-with-kris-theorin/ |access-date=2023-08-29 |language=en-US}}</ref>
