Paper Animation

Paper animation is yet another type of stop motion, 

using very similar techniques to the 3D clay animation usually. 

The images are drawn onto various colours of paper and then stop motion

photography is used to make the paper appear real and move.

This animation all though it does use 3D Imagery, that only tends to

be the main character/object in the scene and then all of the backgrounds 

such as buildings, trees and other objects. 

I really like the way that this is created, the mix of the 3D and the 2D

works really well.

This second paper animation works really well, its extremely 

fluid and mixes with the music really well. I like the attention to detail

taken here, the shadows among other things really stand out. This animation

also used 2D mixed with 3D and the beginning with the birds

is all 2D , but again this works really well. 

This animation seems more like something i could do, 

allthough its all only done on white paper i don't think it needs colour

and speaks for itself. 

This animation is all 2D imagery. each piece is a separate piece

of paper and it is just moved in each frame, no body parts move at all

and thats why this is such a simple way of animating, because nothing

needs to change, once the initial characters are created they can be used

over and over to create different scenes.
