To all the producers who make stop motion animation

How is this done? In class, the teacher often puts some stop-motion animations of the old series such as "Orange Man", "Knitting Escape" and "Self-portrait", but because they are small works made by independent interests, the movements are stiff and the action frames are few, but It is also pleasing to the eye, and exclaimed "Ah, what an imaginative work!"
Then it went to the movie-level "Little Chicken Run", "Christmas Horror Night" and "Ghost Mother" and the leading brand "Invincible Head Dog" ", to the present "Box Monster".
Even if there is a course that allows us to experience the production of stop-motion animation, it was a very interesting and fresh animation expression method at the beginning, but after contacting it, I deeply feel that this kind of stop-motion animation is costly and tiring to display. In addition to the script, it took a lot of time to make a puppet meow. In order to design the bracket, the repairs and repairs also made my hands full. It took a lot of money to make the story scene, but the result is also unsatisfactory.
However, the action of a character in stop-motion animation must be a move to take a photo. Take a manual as an example, the standard animation is four frames, so you have to swing four times and take four shots. This seems easy, but an animation does not have so many hand-raising movements with only four frames. For smooth movement and creative movement, hand-raising movement alone is not enough. This will make the movements seem rigid. Raising hands needs to move even the whole body, such as arms, feet, shoulders, and head to appear smooth and dynamic and close to human movements.
However, in the movie, not only is the whole body of a character moving, but also many people in the crowd are moving together, and even the camera is moving.
If it takes so much effort for a hand gesture. They, how did they "get through" to make a film-level stop-motion animation.

At the end of the movie, the solitary producer has been swinging the two dolls. The producer has changed a lot of ten-digit clothes for this movement. But the animation of this puppet action is only a few seconds.

    After watching the trailer, it's exactly what I like to drive, and it's still a long time before the release.
