This research explores how these integrations impact visual quality, production efficiency, storytelling capabilities, and the challenges they present. Through a comprehensive literature review and thematic analysis, the study identifies key trends and practical applications of modern techniques such as 3D printing, digital sculpting, and CGI in enhancing stop-motion animation. Findings reveal that these technologies can significantly enhance visual quality and production efficiency while expanding the narrative possibilities of stop-motion. However, achieving a harmonious balance that preserves the medium's unique handcrafted essence remains a critical challenge. The study underscores the importance of careful integration and skill development to harness the full potential of these technologies without compromising the traditional values and aesthetic fidelity of stop-motion animation. The conclusions drawn highlight the promising future of stop-motion as it evolves with technological advancements, offering new opportunities for creative expression and innovation.}, }
