Stop frame is more tedious because you have to animate every single frame of your sequence. Keyframe is a little bit easier because you only have to animate every few frames (the key ones) and the software will animate the rest in between your keyframes.

Stop motion is where you take a series of photos and move stuff around in the photos and put them together in a editing set, and you got a stop motion vid. And a CGI animation is; well cgi stands for Computer Generated. So the animation was 100% done in a computer while a stop motion is done 25% in a computer
Stop-motion animation was used in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Models of the characters were placed and moved frame by frame as each motion step was photographed.
Before the prequel films and animation came around, most of the backgrounds were actually matte paintings. The explosions were actually real; models were really blown up and filmed. Most of the huge weapons such as the Imperial walkers were actually down using stop-motion animation when you shoot a frame, then move the models and shoot another frame.

The three general types of animation are: 1.) Cel Animation --> Drawings are made on transparent sheets (celluloid) which may then be laid on top of each other to combine characters and backgrounds 2.) Stop Motion Animation --> A model or puppet (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes in position being made between each frame 3.) Computer Animation --> Computers can be used to entirely create the shapes and colours of animated action, working from a series of mathematical codes, or they can be used to enhance hand-drawn characters.
