請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題: 
Stop motion involves physically manipulating objects, making them appear to move on their own. The objects are 
moved in tediously small increments, and each tiny change in their position is photographed. When the series of 
pictures is played in a continuous sequence, the objects appear to move of their own free will. Because clay is a 
material that is particularly malleable, it is often used in films that utilize stop motion photography. 
The stop motion technique was first put to use in a film called The Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1898. Filmmakers 
used acrobat and animal toys to become pioneers in this new branch of the movie industry. In the 20th century, 
animators brought stop motion to the masses when the original King Kong film hit theaters in 1933. Decades later, 
Disney experimented with stop motion techniques character, Mickey Mouse, in 1978. Then, in 1993, The Nightmare 
Before Christmas, produced by the delightfully dark Tim Burton, became the first widely released stop motion feature 
film. Today, thanks to the Internet, entertaining stop motion films are always just a click away. One of the best the Web 
has to offer is T-Shirt War, which was made by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal. In the film, the two men use 
alternating images on their T-Shirts to push each other’s buttons. In all, it took 222 shirts to make the short video. 
Stop motion techniques have also infiltrated music videos, and one of the most impressive is Oren Lavie’s “Her 
Morning Elegance.” It consists of 3,225 still photographs of actors on a bed, which were shot by a single overhead 
camera. It took four weeks of meticulous planning to map out the computer animated storyboard for the video before a 
single frame was shot. 
In Taiwan, a stop motion animation video caused an online sensation. “Deadline”, a class project by Bang-yao 
Liu, a student at Savannah College of Art and Design, innovatively used Post-it notes. Bang-yao planned out the 
changing positions of over 6,000 Post-it notes for three months before beginning his four-day shoot. The moving notes 
tell the story of a young man dealing with a deadline as monsters, thunderstorms, and a submarine move across the 
wall in front of his desk. The works of Bang-yao and many other creative filmmakers show that there are no limits to 
this amazing method of movie making.
