stop motion
An ancient method of creating special effects in movies, involving a meticulous process of filming a model against a green screen. Has been almost completely replaced by CGI.
Example:
Jurassic Park was almost filmed using stop motion, but ended up with CGI dinos when the producers realized that stop motion is one fugly way of doing special effects.
