Cut Out Animation

Cut Out Animation



 

This is a pretty weird cut out animation and tells the story of a girl who wakes up, pulls off someone's head, sleeps with someone who has climbed into her house through the window and then he burned down the house and left her homeless.





























This character in my friends mouth is the main character in our cut out animation and the other items in the shot are props that we are using in the animation, (flippers, a fridge, a handbag and a sofa).



This lesson I have started to make the backgrounds of my animation.

South Park

South park is an american animation series created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker for the channel Comedy Central. It has a total of 16 seasons and 235 episodes and each episode has a running time of approximately 22 minutes and is very well known for its mature humor and crude language, this may not be that big of a deal for an american sitcom but the catch is it is coming out of four children's mouths who are known for racist and rude talk. This program is  definitely not aimed at small children, it is aimed at middle age teens from 16 and upwards because this age category will get the jokes that the show uses and also for most of the time would not take any offense to the program.

In 2004, Channel 4 voted South Park the third-greatest cartoon of all time. In 2007, Time magazine included the show on its list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time", proclaiming it as "America's best source of rapid-fire satire for [the past] decade". The same year, Rolling Stone declared it to be the funniest show on television since its debut 10 years prior.

It has a total of 11 seasons and 190 episodes and has a slightly longer running time of 23 minutes. Family guy has been reviewed by critics and they all have said roughly the same thing, 'Nasty but hilariously funny', which it is. Family Guy and its cast have been nominated for thirteen Emmy Awards, with four wins. MacFarlane won the Outstanding Voice-Over Performance award for his performance as the baby of the family, Stewie. The original seriese of family guy was in 1999 and finished in 2002, although three years later this was revived on may the 1st, 2005 and is still running and as good as ever on this present day.

Pixilation is a type of movie which the act of taking several pictures and joining them together to give the effect of things moving as a flowing film. this is often used to make inanimate objects move and seem as they are doing it on there own without any assistance, in this case we made Sally move across the floor, up a table and then have shoes climb up her and then her slide down onto the floor and then it ends.
