Memes about stop motion probably weren't even dreamed up by the creators of the "Self-Made Director" TV show. If before it was necessary to show a whole video to make the audience laugh, now it's enough with just one photo.
Memes about stop motion began to appear when most of humanity finally got digital cameras and phones with good cameras. When we used to use regular film cameras, it took hours to prepare for a photo. Now it's all easier. Press the button 350 times, and you have 349 regular photos and one incredibly funny or even stupid one, which becomes a stop motion meme.
Such memes usually depict frames in which a person or animal is captured in the most insane pose: jumping, falling, flying while falling off a bike, etc.
Photos with the title "A Second Before" are very popular in stop motion memes. A second before falling, a second before impact or collision.
It is thanks to stop motion memes that we see photos of people running on water or animals jumping in incredible poses. Thanks to these memes, we can see frames that our human eye cannot capture in real life.
