WALLACE AND GROMIT, THE created by Ray Harryhausen… these are all famous examples of an animation technique called stop-motion, which uses individual images posed by an animator so that, when run as a sequence, the subject appears to move. Traditionally this takes many hours or days of painstaking work. But using the power of the Raspberry Pi and its camera, we can make our own movie studio. In this tutorial we will make a short animation using a LEGO model, all filmed using Python and the Raspberry Pi.
