#9: Seeing Stopmotion in dance game.

There is a dance game that I used to play as a kid called Just Dance and I wanted to see how the game had changed now. I noticed one of the dances for a song, “Mr. Blue Sky” was very different and after watching it, I realized that it was a stop motion animated dance. The company that makes the game, Ubisoft, haven’t done something like this before and seeing stop motion in a huge game is really refreshing. I decided to watch the behind the scenes and saw the long process of every movement. Because this is a dance, it makes the process tedious. The art of stop motion is getting more appreciation because of the amount of time and dedication that is put into it. Some other movies with stop motion is Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro) and Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson)

    Are new technologies like AI being used for stop motion animation?
