Cut Out Animation Evaluation

First you need to get a magazine/newspaper/comic book and select the images you want to use for your stop motion. Next you have to come up with a storyboard for your video so it is planned well and everyone knows what your doing. Once you have finished the storyboard and cut out the pictures for your stop motion you need to get a camera, we used a webcam. Set it up on a stand so it doesn't move and ruin your footage. Now you are ready to start, so you could either do this manually or use a software that does it for you, which is what we done with iStopMotion. Editing is pretty simple as all you really need to do is add sound effects.
The pioneers of the original cut out animation are Terry Gilliam and Lotte Reiniger. Terry Gilliam done the  Monty Python animations and Lotte Reiniger done the Jack and the Beanstalk animation.

The positives of this technique are that it's very simple and easy to do and it's actually quite fun and if done properly with no mistakes it will always be funny.
The negatives of this cut out animation technique is that the process is very long and you need to be patient because there can be up to 25 frames per second, so it is indeed very time consuming.

Overall I think my animation was very successful, we uploaded our work to a website and it got over 48,000 Views and counting, and from the comments a lot of the viewers seemed to enjoy it.

If I were to compare my work to a someone like Terry Gilliam I would say that the are both funny and entertaining to watch the only difference is that his is more professional and edited better, his work is also a lot longer than mine which shows is commitment and dedication towards Cut out animation.
