Stop Motion & GIFs

What is the difference between a simple and complex GIF?

A simple stop motion (AKA GIF) is typically 5 frames or less and either loops or boomerangs. A complex stop motion can have up to 30 frames! The motion is much smoother and more intriguing so you can tell more of a story with the image. We equate 3 simple stop motions to one complex one when it comes to pricing due to the extra frames needed.

Amber Andrews is wonderful to work with! She’s wicked fast and is very detailed oriented. After meeting Amber (about two years ago) and seen what she can do, she is the one and only person I turn to for photo editing and retouching. Thank you for making the impossible possible!
