Wallace+and+Gromit

[|Wallace and Gromit] are the main characters in a British series consisting of four animated short films and a feature-length film. The characters are made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation.

Wallace, an absent-minded inventor living in Wigan, Lancashire, is a cheese enthusiast who is especially fond of Wensleydale. His companion, Gromit, is an anthropomorphic intelligent dog.

 * What's the problem?**
 * stop motion clay animation - movies are shot one frame at a time, moving the models of the characters slightly to give the impression of movement in the final film. In action scenes sometimes multiple exposures per frame are used to produce a faux motion blur. A second of film constitutes 24 separate frames. Even a short half-hour film takes a great deal of time to animate well.
