Various systems and methods for automated stop-motion animation are described herein. An image capture system for automated stop-motion animation includes a motion sensing subsystem to: monitor motion in a camera field of view of the image capture system; and detect when there is no motion in the camera field of view for longer than a threshold period; an image capture device to capture a capture image of the camera field of view; and a video renderer to add the capture image with a set of other images to form a stop-motion animation.
