Why not spice it up with homemade special effects?

A film is simply a series of images

played in sequence to create the illusion of motion.

If you manipulate those images,

crazy things can happen.

We used a tablet and one of the many stop motion apps out there.

How do you get from point A to point B?

那你要如何从A点到B点呢

We started off by taking a bunch of pictures of Celeste in place.

首先我们给西莉斯特拍一系列照片

Then, just like stop motion animation,

然后就像制作停格动画一样

the character is moved just a bit

在拍下一张照片之前

before the next picture is taken,

让人物做点移动

which, in this case, creates a sliding effect.

这样就会出现滑动的效果 （从A点瞬间移动到B点）

Here we use the oldest trick in the book.

不妨来试试老掉牙的把戏

By alternating between photos

让西莉斯特在屏幕出现一次

of Celeste on-screen and off-screen,

就消失一次

we've made her childhood dream of teleportation a reality.

这瞬间转移的儿时幻想便可以成真了

everyday objects from around your house,

Wherever there is an object,

只要可以用的东西

there is an opportunity to make it come to life.

When humans are used in stop motion animation,

若以人物为停格动画的主题

that's called pixilation,

这就是所谓的“人物动画”

a term coined in the mid-twentieth century,

这是二十世纪中期的一个专有名词

well before the word pixel was a part of our vocabulary.

之后，演变成众所周知的“像素”

But these sorts of special effects

但这些特效的历史

are as old as the art of film making,

and thanks to today's technologies,
