In cinema, facial expression and movement are not restricted to human figures. For example, in science fiction and fantasy films, monsters and robots may be given expressions and gestures through the technique of “stop-action” (also called “stop motion”). Typically, a small-scale model is made with articulated parts. In filming, it is posed as desired, and a frame or two is shot. Then the figure is adjusted slightly and another frame or two is exposed, and so on. The result on screen is a continuous, if sometimes jerky, movement. The horrendous onslaught of ED-209, the crime-fighting robot in Robocop, was created by means of a 12-inch miniature filmed in stop-action. (A full scale but unmoving model was also built for long shots.) Stop-action can be also used for more abstract and unrealistic purposes, as in Jan Švankmajer’s Dimensions of Dialogue.
