The traditional craft of stop-motion has been transformed by the digitalization of film and the tools developed thereafter. As a medium bound in its physicality, stop-motion stands as a unique intersection between the analogue and the digital, and provides valuable insights into how the craftsperson balances tradition with new digital opportunities. By applying a qualitative method this study explores this analogue-digital phenomenon through the perspective of the stop-motion animator. The study concludes that the introduction of digital tools have largely separated the analogue expression from the authenticity, and the digital technologies are valued by their ability to aid the expression, not the authenticity. The study therefore indicates the animator values the new visual storytelling opportunities digital tools provide over the authentic hand-crafting process.
