Stop motion animation has been around for a long time,almost as long as traditional film making. Originally stop motion involved animating objects which included the animated movement of' any 'non-drawn' such as toys, blocks or any inanimate object you wish to use. Animators experimented with clay animation and puppet animation e.g. Wallace and Gromit, Flushed Away etc.
Some early examples of stop motion films and techniques can be seen in the 'The Humpty Dumpty Circus' (1898) and in 'Fun in a bakery Shop' (1902). In 1907 'The Haunted Hotel' was a very successful movie with the cinema audience of the time. In 191 one of the first clay animation movies using stop motion was released to great critical acclaim. It was called 'Modeling Extraordinary' In 1916,the first woman animator, Helena Smith Dayton, began experimenting with clay stop motion. She released her first clay film in 1917.
