# Aquatic Stop-Motion Films This Stop Motion Film Uses Water as its Only Material By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stop-motion-film References: [sploid.gizmodo](http://sploid.gizmodo.com/this-cute-stop-motion-animation-was-made-entirely-with-1531132942) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/rodrigoeba) Stop motion films are understandably some of the hardest productions to make. Between the creation of the models to use and the incessant pausing and adjusting for different scenes, it’s not the easiest thing to do. This production takes the normal difficulty and ratchets it up a little bit by creating the whole thing out of [water droplets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). The [stop motion film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-chef-x-ikea) is extremely short, only lasting about a minute, but from the outset, it can be seen that this is an amazing production. The story is simple; a man tries to take a dip in a [waterfall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transposition-installtion) only to find he can’t due to pollution, but the way everything flows is incredible. The movement and placement of such an unstable element like water, especially in droplet form, is amazing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Aquatic Stop-motion Films:** Creates opportunity for new types of storytelling using alternative mediums. - **Eco-friendly Storytelling:** The focus on pollution highlights an undeniable shift towards having more sustainable material usage in media. - **Experimental Production Techniques:** Utilizing uncommon and unconventional materials can lead to innovation through limitations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Film:** An opportunity for filmmakers to explore new ways of storytelling through alternative materials. - **Environmental Advocacy Organizations:** This type of storytelling opens up opportunities for organizations to collaborate with creatives to highlight environmental issues. - **Advertising and Marketing:** The uniqueness of this style could potentially be used as a new way for advertisers to reach their audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kinetic Reef Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Water-Based Entertainment Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arivia-watersurface-drone.md) - [Environmental Film Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-films.md) - [Liquid Droplet DIY Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droplet-watch.md) - [3D-Printed Flip Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures.md) - [Dynamic Video Backdrops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluidmotion.md) - [Waterproof Self-Flying Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua-drone.md)
