A flexible model of the creature-protagonist was placed in a miniature set in front of a locked-down camera. The model was moved a fraction of an inch and a photo was taken, a photo that constituted one frame of the finished sequence. The arm or the legs or the head of the model was then moved another fraction of an inch, and another frame was exposed. By the end of a day's shooting, the creature might...
