Cut out animations

Cut out animation is all about making movement/animation with paper cut outs. The animation itself is cut out shapes plasted on a flat surface and then moving the cutout and taking individual pictures of the motion. When played back this gives you the movement. Cut out animation is a different style than any of the others and can sometimes make the scene seem jerky rather than smooth. Cut out animations are commonly found in childrens programes such as Captain Pug Wash.

Captain Pug wash is a children's animated TV Series. They are filmed and made with cardboard cutouts in live action. Captain Pugwash was created by John Ryan
