This filmmaking technique can also be called stop-motion and it is based on the idea of having an image frame, taking a picture, making a tiny change and once again taking a picture. Once the pictures are shown at a fast speed all of them create the illusion of movement. There is no need to mention how painstakingly all of this process can be; however, the result is totally worth the effort.
The technique of stop-motion involves in the manipulation of certain objects between individual frames so that they appear independent through the series of frames. Georges Melies frequently used this technique of altering something in a frame to create illusions.
