Model based animation

Tony Hart was an English artist and children's television presenter. He made the model animation of morph. Morph is a clay stop-motion comedy animation. This first previewed on the 15th february 1977.  Model based animation is a sequence of 3D objects that move. The models are usually made from clay or plasticine. These materials are used because thy are easy to move and mould into different shapes. This means they look more realistic. These animations are made like most other stop motion animations, a photo is take and then the model is moved slightly then another photo is taken, which gives the illusion of movement. (Anon, 2016)
