This is a paper-cut stop motion. The creator uses various paper shapes to piece together his characters, and a special feature is that he will interact with the paper-cut characters

Clay stop-motion. The sound effects really take the entire video to the next level, it is very satisfying. And the animation is also very smooth.

Proposal:

For this final project, I teamed up with my classmate, Rachel Yeo since Mr. Martin said that we could choose either solo or group, but if we chose to work as group, the duration of the stop-motion would be one minute. 

After discussion, we decided to make a short animation and we will use paper as our stop-motion medium. 

Progress:

We divided the animation part in half and each of us took one part to draw by using Procreate. 

After finishing the animation, we organized the artwork in Adobe Illustrator to prepare for printing. Upon counting the printed papers, we found that there are just over three hundred sheets in total.

Process of editing:

The idea of ​​the story sounds interesting and so does the chosen music. I'm looking forward to your next progress and even results. But for the synopsis, please write in a short paragraph, one sentence is too short.

WEEK 12
The animation looks great. During the editing, try to add some sound effects at some specific scenes. Overall is good to go.
