10 Stunning Stop Motion Movies You Should Not Miss
10 Stunning Stop Motion Movies That You Should Not Miss
An easy yet powerful editor
Numerous effects to choose from
Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
We do have some recommendations for you. Even more than that, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on stop motion movies in hopes of introducing this often-forgotten art to those that may have never thought to appreciate it before.
Complete with an introduction, some examples of great stop motion animation movies and a peek at what the process is usually like for the professionals working on said movies.
In this article
01 [What Movies Use Stop Motion Animation?](#Part 1)
02 [Popular Stop Motion Movies You Might Wonder](#Part 2)
03 [Top 10 Stop Motion Animation Films](#Part 3)
04 [How to Make a Stop Motion Animation Movie](#Part 4)
Part 1 What Movies Use Stop Motion Animation?
First, that overview we promised. This will be a brief introduction to introduce certain key knowledge that you might not already know. Of course, for those who want to head straight to the recommendations, they can do so by skipping to of this article.
01What is a Stop Motion Movie?
The best way to introduce the concept of stop motion animation movies is to first reiterate that it is, literally, the oldest form of animation in film. This was what all the animators did before they figured out how to create the software required to make their characters come alive in a different way.
It involves a lot of crafting, a lot of maneuvering, a lot of careful and precise adjustments. To put it in the simplest way possible, it’s the process of taking a still image of a scene. And then introducing ‘motion’ by changing the elements of said scene, little by little, and taking a picture at every opportunity in between. So that all the still images come together to create the illusion of movement and motion.
02What is the Most Successful Stop Motion Movie?
There are plenty of answers that could be given in this case. Perhaps it should be the first-ever stop motion movie to be made? Which was “The Humpty Dumpty Circus” created by Blackton and Smith with their own daughter’s dolls.
You might also consider success by way of long-term watch ability. If so, then old classics like the “Nightmare Before Christmas” or “Rudolph the Reindeer.” And finally. You have “Chicken Run” which is considered the best performing stop motion movie of all time. Having earned somewhere around $17.5 million in its first, weekend showing.
Part 2 Popular Stop Motion Movies You Might Wonder
Now, how about some of the more popular stop motion practices to come out in the last couple of decades? Different from the stop motion movies of old but still the same at heart. What do we have to say about them?
01Lego Stop Motion Animation Movies
Well… Since our thoughts on the subject are distinctive, we thought to break it up. First starting with Lego Movie stop motion animation. This stop motion movie animation style, also called ‘Brickfilms’, is the practice of using Lego to create stop motion animation movies. It’s been around since the 1970s, but it was only 2003 that the first official film was released by Lego, who partnered up with a production company to create films for them.
It ended up being one of the best choices for them. Especially in terms of marketing their toy products, and the practice had only grown in popularity since, with both kids and adults alike finding joy in the end product.
023D Stop Motion Animation Movies
Alright, so how about 3D stop motion movies? How is it different from 3D animation movies and regular stop motion movies??? Well, it’s actually a bit of a tricky term. The 3D in this case is to differentiate it from regular 2D stop motion animation as you see in a lot of animated films from the East (where each image is hand-drawn to show motion).
In this case, props, objects, character models, and other materials are used in order to sculpt a 3D model of a scene, and pictures are taken to capture motion. The first of the movies of this style is called “Tune with Tomorrow” but you might be more familiar with the title “Coraline.”
Part 3 Top 10 Stop Motion Animation Films
Now for our list of the best stop motion animation movies of our time. This will be somewhat subjective, but also not. Every single one of the stop motion movies on this list is highly rated everywhere and has received rave reviews — making it worth taking the time to watch every single one of them when you have the time.
01Coraline (2009)
We mentioned this stop motion movie previously, but in case you haven’t already watched it, it’s a classic. The storytelling elements of “Coraline” really matched the stop motion style of animation. It was released in 2009 as a 3D movie and it shares the story of a little girl that finds joy and excitement in an alternate reality. Only to realize that it wasn’t all that it was chalked up to be.
02The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993) is another stop motion animation movie that you might have already heard of before. It features the memorable character, Jack Skellington (the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown.) You can usually catch this film airing somewhere on television during the holiday season, as the story is all about Jack Skellington’s obsession with ruining Christmas.
03Chicken Run (1994)
This next stop motion movie, called “Chicken Run” (1994) was also mentioned before. It is, as was previously discussed, the highest performing stop motion animation movie on the big screen. It features quite a varied cast of chickens in a poultry farm all aiming to make an escape by learning how to fly.
04Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
The next film, released in the same year as “Coraline”, is called “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” This was directed by Wes Anderson, who goes on to tell the story of the main character, ‘Mr. Fox’ and how his misadventures involving some of the local farmers in the area got—not only himself—but also his family in danger.
05Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is another holiday classic. This one is a lot older than some of the films on this list but is no doubt just as well-known (and perhaps even more so when you consider the older generation.) Much like the nightmare before Christmas, you can usually find this film airing sometime during the holidays on any one channel.
06Kubo and The Two Strings (2016)
From the makers of Coraline is the stop motion animation movie, called “Kubo and The Two Strings” (2016). It tells the story of Kubo, who goes on a search for a suit of magical armor in an effort to destroy an evil plaguing him. It’s quite a beautiful film and is critically acclaimed for the level of effort that went in to making sure that it was produced in a way that honored the timeless art of stop motion.
07Alice (1988)
This next stop motion film is quite unique. It’s called “Alice” and it was released sometime in the late 1980s. The fun part of this story is that it begins with a live actress playing Alice. In fact, even the rabbit that leads her to wonderland, and eventually turns her into a porcelain doll, was a taxidermized hare that escaped from its display case. In this way, the stop motion aspect of the story is integrated in a fun way that matches the mood of the rest of the hypnotic story to come.
088. Mary and Max (2009)
Another stop motion movie that had been released in 2009 (a big year in stop motion animation) is called “Mary and Max.” This one tells the story of a young girl and man. One living in Australia and the other in America. The two characters form a penpal-ship that takes them through both personal growth and development, making it quite heartwarming.
09The Little Prince (2016)
Categorizing this film as ‘stop motion’ one gave us pause because, technically, only half of the film was done in the stop motion style. However, that doesn’t detract from the evident beauty in those scenes — which speaks not only of countless efforts but gives life to the exciting classic story of “The Little Prince.”
10Frankenweenie (2012)
Another classic that you might recognize is “Frankenweenie” which was released in 2012. It starts off quite grim, with a young boy bringing a dead dog back into life — only further adding to the goth aesthetic that the style of the characters is rocking.
Part 4 How to Make a Stop Motion Animation Movie
For the last part of this article, we move on to the promised ‘tutorial’. It won’t be all that comprehensive, but it should give you a better idea of how stop motion movies are created and the kind of effort and hours that are put into it. Perhaps it will inspire you to try your hand at the process yourself.
01Step 1. Get a Camera.
The first and most important part of setting up for a stop motion movie is to prepare your camera. As any little bit of jostling can cause a whole scene to look jarring, you’ll need to make sure that this is taken care of. Otherwise, you might be forced to redo a scene unnecessarily.
In this case, the invention of tripods turned out to be a major boon, as it kept the camera at the correct vantage view.
02Step 2. Prepare Materials for the Set.
Of course, as props and materials are important for bringing characters to life in a stop motion film, you’ll need some pre-prepared in order to start.
This can be Lego action figures (if you’re working on a Lego stop motion movie) or it can be a regular model or doll (if you’re working on a 3D animation stop motion animation movie.)
03Step 3. Prepare the Set.
For stop motion, it’s important that both the scene and the camera are kept in stable positions. After all, the background will be captured too.
And, to allow for that illusion of motion, it’s best if a still object is compared to one in motion. So, pay very careful when setting up your recording studio. It can make or break your project.
04Step 4. Choose Editing Software
For the last step, you’ll need to pick out an editing software that you can use in order to put together your still images and create a video.
For that, we recommend the professional Wondershare Filmora Video Editor . It’s all set up for professionals and beginners alike, allowing you the freedom to create characters that are both simple and complex with ease. In this case, of course, the goal is to put together your story through all the different frames that you captured in the process.

● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Stop motion animation is a classic way of telling a story of fantastical characters and settings without having to draw everything frame by frame.
● It offers any film a very distinctive style that a lot of lovers of the classics find themselves constantly seeking out.
● If you go through the list that we organized out of some of the best stop motion movies in film history, you’ll notice that they’re all quite acclaimed for their masterful storytelling and fun graphics (which, before the creation of 3D animation as we know it today, was the height of entertainment.)
● This classic art form can be accomplished by just about anyone with the right equipment and a little bit of effort. It takes some patience, as we hoped to have explained in our tutorial, but the effort is worth the sense of fulfillment that comes when a story told in stills turns into a masterful animation that brings static objects and characters to life.
We do have some recommendations for you. Even more than that, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on stop motion movies in hopes of introducing this often-forgotten art to those that may have never thought to appreciate it before.
Complete with an introduction, some examples of great stop motion animation movies and a peek at what the process is usually like for the professionals working on said movies.

04 [How to Make a Stop Motion Animation Movie](#Part 4)
Part 1 What Movies Use Stop Motion Animation?
First, that overview we promised. This will be a brief introduction to introduce certain key knowledge that you might not already know. Of course, for those who want to head straight to the recommendations, they can do so by skipping to of this article.
01What is a Stop Motion Movie?
The best way to introduce the concept of stop motion animation movies is to first reiterate that it is, literally, the oldest form of animation in film. This was what all the animators did before they figured out how to create the software required to make their characters come alive in a different way.
It involves a lot of crafting, a lot of maneuvering, a lot of careful and precise adjustments. To put it in the simplest way possible, it’s the process of taking a still image of a scene. And then introducing ‘motion’ by changing the elements of said scene, little by little, and taking a picture at every opportunity in between. So that all the still images come together to create the illusion of movement and motion.
02What is the Most Successful Stop Motion Movie?
There are plenty of answers that could be given in this case. Perhaps it should be the first-ever stop motion movie to be made? Which was “The Humpty Dumpty Circus” created by Blackton and Smith with their own daughter’s dolls.
You might also consider success by way of long-term watch ability. If so, then old classics like the “Nightmare Before Christmas” or “Rudolph the Reindeer.” And finally. You have “Chicken Run” which is considered the best performing stop motion movie of all time. Having earned somewhere around $17.5 million in its first, weekend showing.
Part 2 Popular Stop Motion Movies You Might Wonder
Now, how about some of the more popular stop motion practices to come out in the last couple of decades? Different from the stop motion movies of old but still the same at heart. What do we have to say about them?
01Lego Stop Motion Animation Movies
Well… Since our thoughts on the subject are distinctive, we thought to break it up. First starting with Lego Movie stop motion animation. This stop motion movie animation style, also called ‘Brickfilms’, is the practice of using Lego to create stop motion animation movies. It’s been around since the 1970s, but it was only 2003 that the first official film was released by Lego, who partnered up with a production company to create films for them.
It ended up being one of the best choices for them. Especially in terms of marketing their toy products, and the practice had only grown in popularity since, with both kids and adults alike finding joy in the end product.
023D Stop Motion Animation Movies
Alright, so how about 3D stop motion movies? How is it different from 3D animation movies and regular stop motion movies??? Well, it’s actually a bit of a tricky term. The 3D in this case is to differentiate it from regular 2D stop motion animation as you see in a lot of animated films from the East (where each image is hand-drawn to show motion).
In this case, props, objects, character models, and other materials are used in order to sculpt a 3D model of a scene, and pictures are taken to capture motion. The first of the movies of this style is called “Tune with Tomorrow” but you might be more familiar with the title “Coraline.”
Part 3 Top 10 Stop Motion Animation Films
Now for our list of the best stop motion animation movies of our time. This will be somewhat subjective, but also not. Every single one of the stop motion movies on this list is highly rated everywhere and has received rave reviews — making it worth taking the time to watch every single one of them when you have the time.
01Coraline (2009)
We mentioned this stop motion movie previously, but in case you haven’t already watched it, it’s a classic. The storytelling elements of “Coraline” really matched the stop motion style of animation. It was released in 2009 as a 3D movie and it shares the story of a little girl that finds joy and excitement in an alternate reality. Only to realize that it wasn’t all that it was chalked up to be.
02The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993) is another stop motion animation movie that you might have already heard of before. It features the memorable character, Jack Skellington (the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown.) You can usually catch this film airing somewhere on television during the holiday season, as the story is all about Jack Skellington’s obsession with ruining Christmas.
03Chicken Run (1994)
This next stop motion movie, called “Chicken Run” (1994) was also mentioned before. It is, as was previously discussed, the highest performing stop motion animation movie on the big screen. It features quite a varied cast of chickens in a poultry farm all aiming to make an escape by learning how to fly.
04Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
The next film, released in the same year as “Coraline”, is called “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” This was directed by Wes Anderson, who goes on to tell the story of the main character, ‘Mr. Fox’ and how his misadventures involving some of the local farmers in the area got—not only himself—but also his family in danger.
05Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is another holiday classic. This one is a lot older than some of the films on this list but is no doubt just as well-known (and perhaps even more so when you consider the older generation.) Much like the nightmare before Christmas, you can usually find this film airing sometime during the holidays on any one channel.
06Kubo and The Two Strings (2016)
From the makers of Coraline is the stop motion animation movie, called “Kubo and The Two Strings” (2016). It tells the story of Kubo, who goes on a search for a suit of magical armor in an effort to destroy an evil plaguing him.

06Kubo and The Two Strings (2016)
From the makers of Coraline is the stop motion animation movie, called “Kubo and The Two Strings” (2016). It tells the story of Kubo, who goes on a search for a suit of magical armor in an effort to destroy an evil plaguing him. It’s quite a beautiful film and is critically acclaimed for the level of effort that went in to making sure that it was produced in a way that honored the timeless art of stop motion.
07Alice (1988)
This next stop motion film is quite unique. It’s called “Alice” and it was released sometime in the late 1980s. The fun part of this story is that it begins with a live actress playing Alice. In fact, even the rabbit that leads her to wonderland, and eventually turns her into a porcelain doll, was a taxidermized hare that escaped from its display case. In this way, the stop motion aspect of the story is integrated in a fun way that matches the mood of the rest of the hypnotic story to come.
088. Mary and Max (2009)
Another stop motion movie that had been released in 2009 (a big year in stop motion animation) is called “Mary and Max.” This one tells the story of a young girl and man. One living in Australia and the other in America. The two characters form a penpal-ship that takes them through both personal growth and development, making it quite heartwarming.
09The Little Prince (2016)
Categorizing this film as ‘stop motion’ one gave us pause because, technically, only half of the film was done in the stop motion style. However, that doesn’t detract from the evident beauty in those scenes — which speaks not only of countless efforts but gives life to the exciting classic story of “The Little Prince.”
10Frankenweenie (2012)
Another classic that you might recognize is “Frankenweenie” which was released in 2012. It starts off quite grim, with a young boy bringing a dead dog back into life — only further adding to the goth aesthetic that the style of the characters is rocking.
Part 4 How to Make a Stop Motion Animation Movie
For the last part of this article, we move on to the promised ‘tutorial’. It won’t be all that comprehensive, but it should give you a better idea of how stop motion movies are created and the kind of effort and hours that are put into it. Perhaps it will inspire you to try your hand at the process yourself.
01Step 1. Get a Camera.
The first and most important part of setting up for a stop motion movie is to prepare your camera. As any little bit of jostling can cause a whole scene to look jarring, you’ll need to make sure that this is taken care of. Otherwise, you might be forced to redo a scene unnecessarily.
In this case, the invention of tripods turned out to be a major boon, as it kept the camera at the correct vantage view.
02Step 2. Prepare Materials for the Set.
Of course, as props and materials are important for bringing characters to life in a stop motion film, you’ll need some pre-prepared in order to start.
This can be Lego action figures (if you’re working on a Lego stop motion movie) or it can be a regular model or doll (if you’re working on a 3D animation stop motion animation movie.)
03Step 3. Prepare the Set.
For stop motion, it’s important that both the scene and the camera are kept in stable positions. After all, the background will be captured too.
And, to allow for that illusion of motion, it’s best if a still object is compared to one in motion. So, pay very careful when setting up your recording studio. It can make or break your project.
04Step 4. Choose Editing Software
For the last step, you’ll need to pick out an editing software that you can use in order to put together your still images and create a video.
For that, we recommend the professional Wondershare Filmora Video Editor . It’s all set up for professionals and beginners alike, allowing you the freedom to create characters that are both simple and complex with ease. In this case, of course, the goal is to put together your story through all the different frames that you captured in the process.

● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Stop motion animation is a classic way of telling a story of fantastical characters and settings without having to draw everything frame by frame.
● It offers any film a very distinctive style that a lot of lovers of the classics find themselves constantly seeking out.
● If you go through the list that we organized out of some of the best stop motion movies in film history, you’ll notice that they’re all quite acclaimed for their masterful storytelling and fun graphics (which, before the creation of 3D animation as we know it today, was the height of entertainment.)
● This classic art form can be accomplished by just about anyone with the right equipment and a little bit of effort. It takes some patience, as we hoped to have explained in our tutorial, but the effort is worth the sense of fulfillment that comes when a story told in stills turns into a masterful animation that brings static objects and characters to life.

Part 1 What Do I Need to Start Learning Animated Characters Drawings?
There are many software’s available, and anyone can create an animated character drawing, but still, the art of creating a perfect character needs a master. You don’t have to be a Disney-grade animator to make it; start with simple minor characters. Animation is the art of bringing a 3D illustrated cartoon into life. It is created by projecting a sequence of images one after the other immediately. Let us discuss the essential things you need to note before animating characters.
●Timeline is the most important for animation. Depending on the software, you have various options to change the duration and add effects.
●Animation is generally preferable in 24 frames per second, which means the total number of people in the frame for one second.
●There are two types of working they are one’s and two’s. 2D Animation is usually done in two’s, whereas 3D Animation is in one’s.
●In hand-drawn animations, keyframes are more critical to maintain. The keyframe is the position for the cartoon as per animator has decided.
●Breakdowns combine one or two keyframes, which decide the motion in between the keys.
●In-betweens are all the frames that come between to smooth the motion—automatically generated by the computer to move from key to key.
●Composting is creating or joining two or more images to create a single cartoon frame.
Part 2 6 Cartoon Characters that Anyone can Draw (With free Video Tutorials)
We will discuss animated characters to draw in hand. There are many cartoon characters, but we will look into six cartoon character drawings with their tutorial videos.
01 Smurfette
Smurfette stands out as the lone female Smurf in the entire bunch of blue critters around the village area. One of the rare designs with long hair and a dress is hers. Her design is a lot of fun to sketch.
So, in general, it’s best to work through the lesson as is, then turn it into Brainy, Papa, Joker, or even Smurf.
01Angelica Pickles
Angelica Pickles is one of the most challenging characters to depict from The Rugrats. But her design is so intricate that getting it proper will give you a true sense of accomplishment. Her pigtails, like her leggings, might be challenging to master, so keep practicing.
03Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear is a cartoon character on the sweeter side of the comic animal variety. Yogi Bear is a beloved character from Jellystone Park. As long as you get his tie and collar just right, this guy is a breeze to draw.
04Magilla Gorilla
Magilla Gorilla is another bizarre creature from Hanna-catalog. Barbera’s Because he comes with a bow tie, a little cap, and suspenders, this design is a little more complicated. Not to mention his enormous clown shoes. These small details can be a pain to draw, but Magilla is a very charming gorilla.
05Top Cat
Even further back in time, in the 1960s, there was the ever-popular Top Cat. He’s wearing a cap and a button-down vest, and he’s making some reasonably fancy dances. Give Top Cat a shot if you like The Flintstones’ basic Hanna-Barbera art style.

06Helga. G. Pataki
Helga is another character with some wacky hair. There’s a lot that’s bizarre about her. And half the fun of drawing her is figuring out how to do it. Just keep an eye on her head since getting it correct, especially with her rectangle hairdo, can be a little odd.
These are some of the cool animated characters to draw.
Part 3 4 Best Drawing Exercise for Creating Cartoon Characters
You’ll learn how to create cartoon characters individually, including their faces, hair, and facial expressions.
01How to Draw Cartoon Characters
We’ll go through the fundamentals of human perception before getting into cartoon face drawing. Humans have a unique ability to synthesize the details that make up a structure or object in highly complicated ways into fundamental and simple ones. We can express everything with a few curves and geometric forms in this way. In cartoon face, we need to identify the character just by looking like looking at the below picture a girl and a boy.
02Here, you will learn How to Draw a Cartoon Face
Let us begin with a sketch of a cartoon face. A circle is a basic cartoon shape. All you need is a circle. As seen in the image below, draw a vertical and horizontal line intersecting at the center.
Let us have a look at how to make cartoon eyeballs. Draw an oval shape with a slight lean to the side at the top for the eyes. Repeat on the other side.
Slightly thicken the characteristic to represent our character eyelashes at the top of the circle, place the brows above the eyelashes to create a shocking appearance, draw both pupils to the center in the same direction.
When creating a nose from the front, it’s typical to leave off many details. Even if you merely sketch its tip, it will likely provide a convincing impact. Drawing only one side of the nose is also quite frequent. Children’s mouths are extremely simple in cartoon style, regardless of gender.
The ears are viewed from the front; therefore, the internal holes are not visible. The circle has already established the shape of our head.
03Let’s learn about How to Draw a Cartoon Hair
Keep in mind that our characters’ hair is essential for identifying their personalities, and it can also indicate their age. So, all we need is an effortless and playful haircut to bring our boy to life. Because there is no particular method for drawing hair, you’ll have to experiment until you find the perfect look. Look for photo references on the internet! Take a look at a magazine shoot or a Google search.
03How to Draw Characters with different Facial Expressions
By simply following the instructions below, you’ll notice that you can completely transform his expression: Lowering one brow and raising the other, eyelashes are used to cut the eyes in half, putting a smile on the face one side is higher.
To stay under the eyelashes, move the eye pupils up. That’s all there is to it! With just a few tweaks, we achieved the desired result. The circular form of the eyes, hair, ears, nose, chin and the circular shape of the ears are all the same! It’s that simple!
While working in cartooning or video making, Wondershare Wondershare Filmora Video Editor comes out with pros in mind, which can effortlessly convert conventional films into cartoon videos.

You can even change the Animation color after it has been created. It also allows you to use different text themes to showcase your videos.
We propose Wondershare Filmora Video Editor , in this case, to create animation videos by adding keyframes, resulting in a smooth and natural animation. To get started with Animation, all you need is a white plane. Aside from that, color correction and an audio mixer will take your animation video to the next level.

We’ll go through the fundamentals of human perception before getting into cartoon face drawing. Humans have a unique ability to synthesize the details that make up a structure or object in highly complicated ways into fundamental and simple ones. We can express everything with a few curves and geometric forms in this way. In cartoon face, we need to identify the character just by looking like looking at the below picture a girl and a boy.
02Here, you will learn How to Draw a Cartoon Face
Let us begin with a sketch of a cartoon face. A circle is a basic cartoon shape. All you need is a circle. As seen in the image below, draw a vertical and horizontal line intersecting at the center.
Let us have a look at how to make cartoon eyeballs. Draw an oval shape with a slight lean to the side at the top for the eyes. Repeat on the other side.
Slightly thicken the characteristic to represent our character eyelashes at the top of the circle, place the brows above the eyelashes to create a shocking appearance, draw both pupils to the center in the same direction.
When creating a nose from the front, it’s typical to leave off many details. Even if you merely sketch its tip, it will likely provide a convincing impact. Drawing only one side of the nose is also quite frequent. Children’s mouths are extremely simple in cartoon style, regardless of gender.
The ears are viewed from the front; therefore, the internal holes are not visible. The circle has already established the shape of our head.
03Let’s learn about How to Draw a Cartoon Hair
Keep in mind that our characters’ hair is essential for identifying their personalities, and it can also indicate their age. So, all we need is an effortless and playful haircut to bring our boy to life. Because there is no particular method for drawing hair, you’ll have to experiment until you find the perfect look. Look for photo references on the internet! Take a look at a magazine shoot or a Google search.
03How to Draw Characters with different Facial Expressions
By simply following the instructions below, you’ll notice that you can completely transform his expression: Lowering one brow and raising the other, eyelashes are used to cut the eyes in half, putting a smile on the face one side is higher.
To stay under the eyelashes, move the eye pupils up. That’s all there is to it! With just a few tweaks, we achieved the desired result. The circular form of the eyes, hair, ears, nose, chin and the circular shape of the ears are all the same! It’s that simple!

02 [How Do You Animate Rigging?](#Part 2)
Part 1 The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need to Know About Rigging in Animation
Before anything else, we’ve prepared a bit of an OVERVIEW on rigging in animation. This will cover most of the basic, need-to-know stuff to nudge you in the right direction and help the tips we’ve prepared to settle in more easily.
01What is Rigging in Animation
Rigging in animation is a technique used by animators to—quite literally—‘rig’ up a statistic digital character to act or move.
Even more simply, it’s a way of bringing literal life to your character models by introducing them to motion. The ‘rig’ in this case, is usually made as a sort of one-size-fits-all kind of tool, which you can use in order to create pre-made skeletal animations that replicate motions like walking, running, jumping, etc., and apply onto static characters. You can use animation software, like Maya in order to get this done!
02An Introduction to 2D Animation Rigging
2D animation is a more back-breaking kind of process. It’s what you see in a lot of older animations — where every frame needs to be drawn in order to allow for the illusion of motion in characters. This is how classics, like Mickey Mouse, are usually produced!
03An Introduction to 3D Animation Rigging
3D animation, as you can probably guess, is a more modern animation style. You see it in a lot of big blockbuster animated movies these days! Even Disney has since moved onto this style, whereas they were staunch supporters of 2D animation in previous decades. Now, a lot of their major productions, including titles such as “Tangled”, “Frozen”, and “Moana” are 3D animated.
In any case, this is more like what we described earlier — where skeletal ‘rigs’ are applied to static 3D character models to make them move.
04Key 3D Rigging Terms to Get You Moving
Finally, to make sure that you’re headed in the right direction, here’s a list of some of the more important 3D rigging terms that you’ll need to know:
Joints|Bones: This is pretty straightforward, but the Joints or the Bones, in this case, refers to the pieces of the skeletal rig that is used to create movement.
Driven Keys: Driven keys are there to help rigging artists make the movement appear more natural faster. It consists of two parts, the driver (which controls the animation) and the driven (the parts controlled by the driver).
Blend Shapes: This is an animation tool that riggers used mainly for facial animation (like lip-syncing). Basically, it allows them to blend or morph an existing shape to give it motion.
Inverse Kinematics: This is a method of animation that separates a part from the whole. Like how an animator can create motion in the wrist, for example, as a separate entity from the arm.
Forward Kinematics: Opposite of the previous style, this one is a method that follows a hierarchical progression.
Control Curves: This is a way of manipulating multiple joins in a rig in order to create one flowing movement.
Constraint: A way of limiting the positioning of a model or a joint.
Deformers: A way of enhancing rigs to produce a more organic model.
Skinning: This is the process of adding the 3D mesh to the joints.
Weight Planning: This is the process of planning how the weight of an object will affect its 3D mesh and the movement of its joints.
Facial Rigging: This is the process of setting up facial animation, similar to how you set up skeletal animation, but far more complex.
Part 2 How Do You Animate Rigging?
Now, onto actually talking about how you can start animate rigging. This section will guide you through the process in a way that should hopefully help you while in the process of learning about animation in general.
01How to Rig a Simple Character
This has been broken down into four distinct stages to make things as simple as possible! It won’t be discussing the tools you use, as there are plenty of tools you can use for animation, just the general process:
Step 1: Design Your Character
Before you even think about animation, you should start with designing your character (or characters.) This will give you a good basis on what kind of animation rigging you’ll need to work on for that character.
For example, for a humanoid character, a general skeletal rigging might be okay. However, for a creature or monster, their joints might be in different areas or they might even have additional joints regular human rigs don’t have!
So, start with a foundation that you can work from to make things easier on yourself.
Step 2: Start With Rigging Points!
When you have your character design ready, it’s time to start rigging joints! It’s best to start with the joints and leave the more finicky parts later. Basically, it’s always easier to start with the parts that can create big movements first!
Working on things layer by layer should help make things easier for you as well.
Step 3: Connect The Layers!
It’s time to put everything together to create smooth movement! Depending on what tool you’re using, this is usually just as easy as dragging things into place.
Step 4: Timing Your Animation
With the rig in place, the next thing you have to worry about is frame timing. Timing is important for ensuring that there is no break in character motions
02Beginners Tutorial on Shape Rigging
This one is a little more complicated, and should be improved more by trial and error, but here are a couple of tips that you can follow along with while exploring blend shapes in animation:
Master your sculpting tools first and foremost! The more familiar you are with the shapes that your tools can create, the better!
Symmetrical modeling is one way of making the process go a lot faster! Take advantage of this option to highlight components that you need to be affected in the same way and at the same time.
If symmetrical modeling is not working for you, independent modeling is a great way of making things appear more organic.
03How Auto Rig Mapping Works
Auto-rigging is the use of pre-made rigs in order to simplify the process. The tool automatically maps the areas where the characters and the rig are given the same symbol names and snaps them together to create joints for a motion to be applied.
04How Visual Rig Mapping Works
Visual mapping is a lot more complicated the auto-rig mapping, so it’s not something you want to jump into immediately. However, it is a must for animation riggers that work with unique character models. The process usually goes as follows:
Manually make connections starting with the joints.
Applying the skeleton to the rig to complete bones and connections.
Motion can then be added to the timeline.
05Finalizing Your Animated Rig
To finish us off, let’s talk about how you go about publishing your finished product! Of course, even after you have your complex rig completed, there are still other matters to think about in terms of making sure that the video is of quality!
Key Takeaways from This Episode
● Start off on the right footing by learning the basics of animation! These days, there are more options than ever, with the modern 3D animation rigging style now just as popular as the more classic 2D animation style.
● The best way to learn animation rigging is to practice! Structured guides can help you get to the point of almost mastery, but it’s not until you start playing with the tools of your craft that you can truly learn how to create beautiful animations!
● Some of the more complex functions of rigging require a lot of patience, so make sure that you always go into your projects with a level-head. And, just to be sure, invest in tools that will help rather than hinder your progress! There are many advanced software out there that can help you improve more easily.

Yes, it is definitely possible In fact, it couldn’t be easier. A lot of the ‘whiteboard animation’ generators also work as blackboard animation generators.
In this guide, we hope to shed some light on the subject so that everyone can have an easier time approaching the matter of creating a blackboard project on their own.

01 [Is Blackboard Animation Outdated?](#Part 1)
02 [How to Combine Modern Needs with Blackboard Animation?](#Part 2)
03 [How to Create a Blackboard Animation in ONE DAY?](#Part 3)
Part 1 Is Blackboard Animation Outdated?
Blackboard animation some may say is as outdated as the concept of ‘blackboards’ themselves. After all, nowadays, whiteboards are the standard for presenting information in a school setting — with many preferring the ease of using dry-erase markers over the more unwieldy chalk.
However, unlike the inconveniences of using an actual chalkboard, chalkboard animation is not so different from whiteboard animation In fact, it’s just given a different look. One that may be exactly what you’re looking for — especially if you’re looking to get in touch with the older generation (who would no doubt be more familiar with the concept.)
Part 2 How to Combine Modern Needs with Blackboard Animation?
But alright, so how do you make it so that your blackboard animation is just as suited for the modern generation as it is for the older generation?? Well, that’s easy really. You’ll need images Or, rather, you’ll need visuals outside of just the plain text that is usually associated with chalkboard animation.
With the right kind of visuals to go along with your informational text, you can boost the effectiveness of your chalkboard animation video and make it more palatable. Perfectly in line with the modern needs of the era.
Part 3 How to Create a Blackboard Animation in ONE DAY?
Alright, so onto actually talking about how you can go about creating a chalkboard animation video Take note, this is going to be an ‘overview’ kind of tutorial. We’ve also decided to choose a more ‘custom’ method, rather than using one of the premium blackboard animation generators (which usually require you to pay a steep price in order to gain access to a media library.)
01Step 1. Pick Your Software
The first step in creating chalkboard animation is to pick the software that you want to use This can be something more ‘animation-specific’, like After Effects. Or something more ‘video-editing-specific’ like Filmora.
Again, because this is meant to be more of a ‘general’ tutorial, we won’t be showing you exactly how to use whatever editing software you decide to use in order to create your blackboard animation videos. But, as a general kind of advice, it would be best that you pick a video editor like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor that offers a Timeline feature that will allow you to quickly put together a project
02Step 2. Create a Storyboard
Next, to make the actual blackboard animation creation process go smoother, it’s important that you create a storyboard that will outline the video that you want to create
The more detailed this storyboard is, the better Although, of course, you don’t necessarily have to draw every single frame of your chalkboard animation beforehand. Just sketch out the general idea. It will help make sure that you won’t have to rush about making all sorts of corrections in the future
03Step 3. Draw Characters
For this step, we say ‘characters’ and use the word ‘draw.’ But really, this is a very open kind of step where we encourage you to put together all media that you will need to make your project into a reality This is where the storyboard really helps. After all, with that, you have an idea of exactly what kind of characters, settings, music, audio, etc. you’ll need for each scene (if not each frame)
If you’re not the ‘drawing’ type, by the way, there are both FREE and premium media libraries that you can take advantage of to use for your project It might be difficult to find matching art styles at first. But, if you’re really particular about that, then you can always find a freelance digital artist to design with a specific style in mind
04Step 4. Put Together Project
Last of all, of course, is the process of putting everything together. Do you have your software? Great Launch it and create a new project Do you have your storyboard? That’s also great Now you have an idea where each character and setting will go
In the image below, we’re only showing the start of a potential project. We’ve only added one image to the timeline But, as you can see, with the use of Filmora, even this one image can be turned into a video
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Blackboards are naturally associated with learning This makes blackboard animation videos a great method of sharing information with an audience. Whether you’re doing it to promote your services/goods or just genuinely looking to impart knowledge to another
● Some may think that blackboards are outdated — for the mere fact that blackboards themselves are considered outdated when compared to whiteboards — but that doesn’t make them any less effective at getting a message across so long as you include the right kind of visuals
● In our brief ‘overview’ tutorial, we expand on the subject of blackboard animation some more. Be warned, it’s not the kind of project you should go into if you’re not prepared for the work Longer projects, especially, will require quite a bit of elbow grease to get done.
● Still, there’s something satisfying about a well-done chalkboard animation video that will not only be a joy to create but also, hopefully, catch the attention of your audience as well.

Architecture Animation is the practice of creating a 3D Animation of a structure. A lot of animation studios offer it as part of their packages, creating 3D Architectural Animation that you can explore to the fullest and make use of as clips for projects for your partners or share with your audience for marketing purposes.
In this article
01 [What is Architectural 3D Animation?](#Part 1)
02 [Top 7 Benefits of 3D Animation in Architecture Design](#Part 2)
03 [5 Famous 3D Animation Services and Studio](#Part 3)
Part 1 What is Architectural 3D Animation?
01How is animation used in architecture?
3D Animation Architecture is the same as a live walkthrough of a home or building, except it’s all done digitally In the literal sense, you can experience a real estate project in full (both interior and exterior design, although some animation studios do offer those services separately.) These animations are usually done with the help of CAD architecture-friendly software. Like Maya, Autodesk, Giza, and so on.
Then they’re either shared as is — fully explorable in all sorts of angles. Or, as finished videos run through on a professional video editor, like Filmora, which can be used to create stunning ‘walk-throughs’ that you can share with clients and partners alike
02Why is 3D Animation Important for the Architecture Industry?
3D Animation Architecture is quite difficult to make, usually involving hours of work rendering everything in proper form. However, these days, Architecture Animation software is not only more accessible but much easier to use as well Because of this, the demand for Architectural Animations grew, with architects and construction engineers preferring only to work with those who could provide them with the kind of detailed project that is usually afforded by 3D Architectural Animation.
Part 2 Top 7 Benefits of 3D Animation in Architecture Design
We answered this just now in a very broad kind of sense. However, to be truly able to explain why the demand for 3D Architectural Animation has only continued to grow over the years, we’ve also included this section on the many benefits of Architecture Animation and how it can improve your business offerings and help you compete on more even grounds with your competitors
01Detailed Construction Requirements
As mentioned previously, a lot of architects and construction engineers would prefer to work with designers who can show them their vision through 3D Architectural Animation. This gives them an idea of exactly what you want in terms of construction requirements.
02Complete Visual Touring
Of course, outside of construction parameters, there’s also the major benefit of just being able to see the finished project in its fully rendered form. In the case of designers and construction engineers, it erases any risk of misunderstandings. And, when it comes to clients, they can more easily visualize your plans and the work that is required to make it a reality.
03Scope and Scale of Project
Continuing from the same vein we left off in the previous listing. A 3D Architectural Animation shows off the specific scope and scale of the project. Not just in terms of sizing (although that’s important too), but also the kind of budget that would be required in order to get it done, and what changes could be made in regards to the current real estate property (if there’s any.)
04Architectural Animations Easily Shareable
We mentioned this in passing previously, but architectural animations are great because they are so much easier to share. Now, no longer will you have to come to a project discussion with piles and piles of blueprints that your client is unlikely to truly understand in full
Instead, you can invest in creating stunning walk-throughs or flythroughs of the ‘finished’ property with the use of video editors like Filmora and ensure that they are able to share in your vision from the onset.
05Customer Reassurance Boost
Of course, one great thing about having to show something to your client is that you can give them peace and mind by proving to them that you know what you are doing, that you have a plan, and that this plan is right here. It’s quite relieving, as we’re certain you can understand, to have something solid to ground you when faced with such big, life-changing projects.
06Make Corrections Early and Efficiently
Another benefit of having a fully rendered end-product in front of you is that you can very easily make changes as needed. If the client thinks that this part is a little too small or if they think that this door is unfashionable. You can make the change easily with the right CAD software and then ask their opinion again to ensure that you’ve got the look right this time around
No more illegible notes on paper blueprints. You can get right to editing on the 3D model itself, and see your corrections come to life not long after.
07Architectural Animations Are Promotable Content
So long as you are given permission by your clients, you can use finished projects as promotable content — either by publishing it on YouTube or your website, where it can be discovered by future clients that may be interested in your work In this way, you can show them your previous work without having to go through the trouble of recording an extra live walk-through of the property after the fact It’s already there after all, why not use it?
Part 3 5 Famous 3D Animation Services and Studio
If your goal is to eventually make a name for yourself in the world of 3D Animation Architecture, then it’s a good idea for you to familiarize yourself with some of the more popular 3D Animation Services and Studios (who provide the kind of service required to create architectural animations like that you see in Studio Ghibli Architecture)
01VisEngine
The first on this list of 3D Architecture Studio is “VisEngine.” They offer pop-up 3D Animation, Pop-Up Design, Origami Architecture, Kirigami Animation, and more Their main tools, as you would say, are Corona Renderer, Autodesk 3DS Max, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Premiere Pro If you’re curious as to the look of their finished architectural animations, they have some great samples available on YouTube that you can check out
02Exodo Animation Studios
“Exodo Animation Studios” is another animation service provider that provides high-quality 3D Animation work for architecture — although their service, much like other 3D Animation Studios, is not limited to that They’ve had their hand in creating plenty of 3D characters and are a well-known name-brand in the realm of CGI
03Promoshin
Promoshin is perhaps better known for its 3D Character Animation, but that doesn’t mean their architectural work is anything to scoff at They cater, specifically, to brands who want to create 3D Animation promotional content. And, to this end, they’ve worked with quite a lot of name-brands (including NASA, Uber, Cisco, and so on)
04ZOA Studio
ZOA Studio brings us back to Architecture Animation services providers that are well-known in the architectural industry They provide both exterior and interior work for many architects around the world — with a portfolio of great examples of old work available for you to look through on YouTube (it’s a great resource for those looking for inspiration)
05Studio Aiko
Again, this next studio, called “Studio Aiko” is usually better known for its regular 3D Animation work. However, that doesn’t mean that their architectural animations are any lesser in quality They produce very high-quality work fit for any kind of media platform. Making it a fitting solution for many professional architects
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Architectural Animations are now a staple for real estate projects. What with architects and construction engineers alike preferring to work with designers who can hand over a detailed look of their vision from the onset.
● There are many other benefits to 3D Architectural Animation, of course, amongst which is better communication between you, as the designer, and your partners and clients Architecture Animation breathes life into a vision that may have previously existed only in your mind, and it smooths misunderstandings and eases progress
● If you’re looking to start a career in 3D Animation Architecture, we recommend that you look into some of the more popular service providers and studios in your area YouTube is a good platform to start looking if you’re unsure. There, you can find many finished architectural animations that can serve as inspiration for future projects
Architecture Animation is the practice of creating a 3D Animation of a structure. A lot of animation studios offer it as part of their packages, creating 3D Architectural Animation that you can explore to the fullest and make use of as clips for projects for your partners or share with your audience for marketing purposes.

03 [5 Famous 3D Animation Services and Studio](#Part 3)
Part 1 What is Architectural 3D Animation?
01How is animation used in architecture?
3D Animation Architecture is the same as a live walkthrough of a home or building, except it’s all done digitally In the literal sense, you can experience a real estate project in full (both interior and exterior design, although some animation studios do offer those services separately.) These animations are usually done with the help of CAD architecture-friendly software. Like Maya, Autodesk, Giza, and so on.
Then they’re either shared as is — fully explorable in all sorts of angles. Or, as finished videos run through on a professional video editor, like Filmora, which can be used to create stunning ‘walk-throughs’ that you can share with clients and partners alike
02Why is 3D Animation Important for the Architecture Industry?
3D Animation Architecture is quite difficult to make, usually involving hours of work rendering everything in proper form. However, these days, Architecture Animation software is not only more accessible but much easier to use as well Because of this, the demand for Architectural Animations grew, with architects and construction engineers preferring only to work with those who could provide them with the kind of detailed project that is usually afforded by 3D Architectural Animation.
Part 2 Top 7 Benefits of 3D Animation in Architecture Design
We answered this just now in a very broad kind of sense. However, to be truly able to explain why the demand for 3D Architectural Animation has only continued to grow over the years, we’ve also included this section on the many benefits of Architecture Animation and how it can improve your business offerings and help you compete on more even grounds with your competitors
01Detailed Construction Requirements
As mentioned previously, a lot of architects and construction engineers would prefer to work with designers who can show them their vision through 3D Architectural Animation. This gives them an idea of exactly what you want in terms of construction requirements.
02Complete Visual Touring
Of course, outside of construction parameters, there’s also the major benefit of just being able to see the finished project in its fully rendered form. In the case of designers and construction engineers, it erases any risk of misunderstandings. And, when it comes to clients, they can more easily visualize your plans and the work that is required to make it a reality.
03Scope and Scale of Project
Continuing from the same vein we left off in the previous listing. A 3D Architectural Animation shows off the specific scope and scale of the project. Not just in terms of sizing (although that’s important too), but also the kind of budget that would be required in order to get it done, and what changes could be made in regards to the current real estate property (if there’s any.)
04Architectural Animations Easily Shareable
We mentioned this in passing previously, but architectural animations are great because they are so much easier to share. Now, no longer will you have to come to a project discussion with piles and piles of blueprints that your client is unlikely to truly understand in full
Instead, you can invest in creating stunning walk-throughs or flythroughs of the ‘finished’ property with the use of video editors like Filmora and ensure that they are able to share in your vision from the onset.
05Customer Reassurance Boost
Of course, one great thing about having to show something to your client is that you can give them peace and mind by proving to them that you know what you are doing, that you have a plan, and that this plan is right here.
