CUT-OUTS ANIMATION
Complex cut-outs animation with rich textures and intricate designs
Cut-outs animation involves cutting artwork into multiple segments, designed to be independently moved, altering their placement and orientation over time to create motion. Working with cut-outs allows detailed designs and rich textures, with a somewhat quicker animation process than frame-by-frame techniques. Yet the animation requires elaborate tweaking to avoid rigidness and achieve a convincing natural motion.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
With cut-outs, creating believable character animation takes careful planning and diligent editing. Usually establishing a basic skeleton (and 'rig') to effectively control the moving parts in accordance with each other. Unlike frame-by-frame techniques, there's no need to create the artwork on each new frame, so the integrity of the design is easily maintained. However, elasticity and fluidity are trickier to achieve, due to the inherent rigidness and unintuitive animation process. These qualities, which hinder the creation of organic cut-outs character animation, actually form an ideal playground for the design of accurate and consistent behavior of non-organic objects and shapes. Ideal for technical simulations, inanimate objects, props and backgrounds, and also for graphics and abstract shapes.
