Gundam Stop Motion

Came across this interesting stop motion video clip as I was looking around at Figma Toys. I would say it's amazingly very well done by a filmmaker in Taiwan. Enjoy the fight scenes!

Stop Motion (also known as stop frame): an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved bit by bit in small increments between each individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay mation".
