Post #16 Making of the cutout animation!


Today I started creating my cutout animation. There is an awesome setup at the University with a camera and two lightbulbs on either side. I began testing my animation....


It was quite fiddly to move each body piece. I used the software iStopMotion to automatically take a photo every 20 seconds and to see if each photo aligned.

Here are a few photos shot from today. I spent a lot of time working on the positions of the arms and legs to get it right. When I watched the photos at 12 frames per second, the walking looks realistic.
However, I may need to change the face as she is only looking straight.
