To round things off, there is many different types of stop motion animation in all types of
media mainly being modern day film and television. As I have previously mentioned Wallace
and Gromit and also newer films such as “Boxtrolls” which was very popular on release and
make the company lots of money due to how well made the film is this shows that stop
motion is still popular even today. https://youtu.be/Q2dFVnp5K0o Some films also feature
this animation but for only small parts of the film such as the Horror film “Evil Dead” which
uses stop motion for some of the later scenes due to low budget and to help animated
moving objects that could not move by themselves such as the following scene

There are also many types of television shows that feature stop motion animation such as
Trapdoor which is a 1980’s television show that is entirely made of stop motion animation
similar to Wallace in Gromit but is a darker and stranger television show that uses stop
motion to animate so weird and interesting scenes. https://youtu.be/mluYB9YfzSI While
talking about television it is interesting to note that a lot of adverts recently have taken the
style of stop motion animation for their advertisements this can be used to keep the viewer
interested in the advert as it is something different to the common and boring live action
adverts that everyone uses and instead makes them interesting through the use of adding
the stop motion to give adverts more life this can be seen in the following advert for Lurpack
Butter in which is styled like Wallace and Gromit from the character design and animation
this is used to show and interesting point of view from the butter talking and making a
memorable and funny advert.
Stop motion animation can also be seen in music videos such as Radiohead- Burn the Witch
uses a funny child style animation and then adds a sinister twist to it with the overall plot
this can be a funny juxtaposition. It is animated like a normal children’s stop animation work
body movements and sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2oS2hoL0k
And lastly stop motion animation is not restricted to just filmed related media as it can also
be seen in a videogame called the “Neverhood” released in 1996 the game uses stop motion
animation for the whole games animation style witch is very rare in a game as it is all
normally just computerised. The game is a “Point and Click” adventure game and uses
deaths that are fully animated by stop motion animation giving the game a unique twist of
animation in a different genre than usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYvlcP1OheI
