cut out animation

Cut out technique is a table top animation that uses 2D puppets.This Cut outs can be pretty much anything from hand drawn images, cut up already existing images or even just random materials. This technique is sometimes combined with a light box to get the silhouette effect, as seen in the film The Adventures of Prince Achmed. This weeks task had us make an animation of either a fairy tale or a fable, this one being of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
