The video discusses the benefits of using stop-motion animation in filmmaking, particularly when working with products that are already made or when a client doesn't want to reveal the process of how something is made. The creator notes that stop-motion can be used to create high-quality footage, even with ordinary equipment, and that it allows for the animation of objects without the need for human subjects.
The video highlights three reasons why stop-motion is underrated:
1. It can provide high-quality footage, even with ordinary equipment, by capturing individual photos and sequencing them together in editing.
2. It allows for the animation of objects without the need for human subjects, making it ideal for product showcases.
3. Tools are now available to animate camera movements during stop-motion videos, allowing for more dynamic footage.
The creator also discusses a technique called "burst lapse" which is a type of time-lapse that takes place over a short period of time, and how it can be used to capture smooth motion.
Finally, the video notes that incorporating stop-motion into one's work can help increase earnings, particularly for freelancers, by offering clients more content options and charging accordingly.
