What is "cutout animation"?
Cutout animation is a technique where characters and scenes are created using flat, cut-out shapes made from materials like paper, cardboard, or fabric. These cutouts are assembled on a flat surface and moved slightly between each frame of film or video. Each small adjustment is photographed, and when the images are played in sequence, the cutouts appear to move smoothly. This method allows for a distinctive, stylized look and is often used to create simple, yet visually engaging animations.
