Image in Motion versus Image Implying Motion: Creating Paintings for Stop Motion Animation and Decorative Art

Abstract

In my thirty-five years of painting with oil paints for both the moving image in the case of stop motion animation as well as decorative still paintings, I have come to understand that the two art forms require very different processes. While the imagery shares certain qualities, such as my use of color, texture and brush stroke, the act of making the paintings come from different intentions and require distinct mindsets. In this paper I explore the creative processes involved in both of these art forms and delve deeper into these distinctions.
