Terry Gilliam's cut out class




"The whole point of animation is tell a story, make a joke, express an idea."

  • magazines, books, old pictures, newspaper- anywhere
  • take image out of context, play around with scale, combine in amazing ways
  • need 2 photographs/christmas cards for everything used 
    •  cutout comes from one
    • other retouched and used as background
  • cheat as much as possible- save time creatively
  • be aware of limitation of cutouts
    • simple things and quick sudden movements work best
    • forget about realistic motion
  • first thing is storyboard
    • can be crude
    • write sound effects needed
    • mark down approx time
    • reminder for shooting (animatic)
  • cutouts can be round and rich
  • keep character parts together with envelope
  • be aware of shadows
  • tape down pieces when shooting
