'''[[Stop motion]]''' is an animation technique where real-life objects are moved incrementally between a series of photographs; when played back at high speed, the objects appear to be moving. The most popular type of stop motion animation is [[claymation]], using plasticine sculpted models.

In [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], stop motion has been seen in a variety of contexts. [[Strong Mad]] created the animated short ''[[Doug the Dino]]'', [[Taranchula]] have an animated music video, and the characters watch [[Rankin/Bass|classic Decemberween special]] ''[[Brundo the Decemberween Yak and the Sword of St. Olaf]]''. Several promotional videos and [[Social Media|social media]] posts for [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] use stop motion to demonstrate gameplay.

[[Matt Chapman]] [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|won an award]] for a claymation animation in [[1987|the 7th grade]]. Around 2009, Matt and [[Craig Zobel]] wrote a script for a feature-length adaptation of stop motion short ''[[Monster Safari]]'', though [[@ronginald|the film was not produced]].
