# Welcome

Welcome to the **Dictionary of Stop-Motion** — a dedicated wiki space within the larger **Stop-Motion Wiki**.  

This section is a working reference: concise definitions, technical notes, and production terms explained through the lens of stop-motion. Many words come from cinematography, animation, or VFX, but here they’re grounded in puppet stages, miniature sets, and frame-by-frame workflows.  

---

## Purpose  

- Provide **A–Z definitions** of stop-motion, film, animation, and VFX terms.  
- Act as a **cross-reference library** for other wiki spaces:  
  - [Stop-Motion Wiki (Main Hub)](/) — overview, navigation, news.  
  - [EDU Wiki Space](/edu) — courses, exercises, and structured learning.  
- Serve as the **terminology base** for books, courses, and studio documentation.

## External Resources  

Alongside in-house entries, we maintain links to vetted film and animation glossaries:  

➡ [External Film & Animation Dictionaries](/dictionary/extdictionarylist)
