With dozens of beautiful new examples from around the world, this new edition includes a project in each chapter, with pointers on finding a story and characters, developing a script and storyboard, constructing puppets and dealing with the practicalities of filmmaking. These projects combine to lead you through the creation of your first one-minute stop-motion animation.
