Stop Motion pioneers

In the beginning, there were no YouTube tutorials, websites, no how-to books, magazines or people who knew how to create a stop motion film. Everything from figuring out how to invent armatures, recording with film cameras, compositing, rigs, animation, fabrication....it was all unknown! But, these pioneers had one thing in common. They had a vision in their minds, ambition, a little luck and stories to tell.  Below are the people who invented most of the methods we take for granted today. We have them to thank for all the advancements they brought to the world.
