Did you ever think about how they create those movies such as Wallace and Gromit or those lego youtube videos  that move over time?

​

They are created with stop motion animation.  Stop motion is a time-consuming, repetitive process that takes patience and alot of creativity.  Each frame has to be carefully setup and precisely filmed.

If you are creating a 30 second movie, you may need anywhere from 90 - 150 frames for animation.  The fewer frames you use the movie will look choppier.  So think about using 3-5 frames per second. (1 second of video per frame)
