| Stop-motion animation, which is based on the physical object and is shot frame by frame, is an ancient art of animation. As an independent art form, it has formed a unique art language through a century-long development. With the continuous exploration by animators, stop-motion animation has actively combined with digital technology, and has made a great progress in the use of materials and the technique of filming. The introduction of digital technology not only enriched its’ artistic expression, but also laid the basis for its’sustainable development in the new era.By introducing the application of digital technology in all stages, combining with the art language features of stop-motion animation, the sublimation of it brought by digital technology is deeply analyzed and summarized. First, the digital filming and spreading further enhances the character of stop-motion animation. Second, the use of digital technology optimizes the story-telling process, establishes a good basis for filming. Third, the application of digital technology improves the technology to make a more realistic and vivid mini-world. Fourth, digital technology enhances the creative space for animators and enriches the visual effects of their work. The last chapter looks forward to the future of stop-motion animation, explores the possibility of a combination between stop-motion animation and emerging technologies, and makes suggestions for domestic progress.This dissertation analyzes the development process of the integration of digital technology and stop-motion animation, systematically explores and summarizes how digital technology promotes the artistic charm of stop-motion animation, guides the practice of making stop-motion animation, and provides reference for the development of the domestic stop-motion animation. |
