Making a stop motion animated film is quite an ordeal. From Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to The Nightmare Before Christmas, these films take an incredibly long time to complete. Animators working on these projects must move character models ever so slightly to get a naturally flowing look. Recently, stop-motion film The Boxtrolls showed viewers via time lapse photography the incredible amount of work that goes into making these films.
