step 1: cu...how to make kooky papercut animation:<br /><br />step 1: cut out your characters. here, they have used white, folded paper because they are fancy-schmancy, but coloured card is good, as are old book covers from remainders that have the wrong book inside the cover, or have some pages upside down.<br /><br />step 2: paint or draw your background, or just use a plain black one.<br /><br />step 3: pin your background to a wall, and set up a film camera (an old wind up bolex with a stop motion button is good) or a video camera with a photo shot button, or a still camera if neither of the above options are available. make sure the wall and the camera plane are parallel. alternatively, you could set the background up on a table, and have the camera fixed looking down onto the background.<br /><br />step 4: set your characters up (stick a tiny bit of blu-tack to their backs so they stick onto the background) in their starting position and take from four to twelve frames, depending on how fast you want them to move. <br /><br />step 5: keep moving your characters and taking shots, when you play it back as a continuous stream, they will be jumping around! yay! (but if you used a still camera, you will have to put the photos into a final cut or i-movie first)<br /><br />Instead of paper, you could use fuzzy felt, like woof wan bau did here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRzZNZuLgC4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
