A word of caution from the start... the link below is about video work using one of today's top stills dSLR and not about stills imaging.

That said please follow your heart.

I never fail to be impressed - no - blown away - by some people's ingenuity and ability.

I find the whole thing breathtaking - I hope you do too.

Mike

EDIT:


Quote: and not about stills imaging.

Then again - maybe it is!!

From Wiki:

The Wallace and Gromit films are shot using the stop motion animation technique. After detailed storyboarding, set and plasticine model construction, the film is shot one frame at a time, moving the models of the characters slightly between to give the impression of movement in the final film. In common with other animation techniques, the stop motion animation in Wallace and Gromit may duplicate frames if there is little motion, and in action scenes sometimes multiple exposures per frame are used to produce a faux motion blur. Because a second of film constitutes 24 separate frames, even a short half-hour film like A Close Shave takes a great deal of time to animate well. General quotes on the speed of animation of a Wallace and Gromit film put the filming rate at typically around 30 frames per day — i.e. just over one second of film photographed for each day of production. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an example for how long this technique takes to produce quality animation; it took five years to make.
