Enlightenment of Digital Technology on Stop Motion Animation Teaching

Abstract

This article summarizes some of the effects of digital technology on animation creation, as well as some key technologies and auxiliary equipment that have been introduced in the teaching of animation majors. It focuses on the attempts of computer-aided software and equipment such as digital painting and 3D printing used in stop motion animation teaching. Listed the application, advantages and disadvantages of these new technologies and equipment in the teaching process, and discussed the future impact of digital technology development on animation teaching. At the same time, we also discussed the pros and cons of the relationship between art creation, art teaching and technological development at the end of the article, as well as the confusion in teaching and creation. The final conclusion is that even though digital technology has increased the complexity of stop motion animation production to some extent, its convenience and expandability are powerful means of enhancing animation creation.
