1.) Stop motion animation is a lost art. I never realized how difficult it is to create something by moving things inch centimeter by centimeter. The kind of animation and motion pictures done today are easy in comparison to the effort and concentration it requires to put together a good stop motion animation. 

2.) It is important to maintain exact positioning and exact lighting and slow transitioning in order to make an effective movement.

3.) Story boards are important because they allow ideas to start flowing. It is not necessary to stick to the story board exactly. The changes and ideas that change as you go make the movie more interesting and usually more effective.
