Planning

These are the two choices of songs that I want to do. I decided to pick a song that has a girl singer so it it would match the video much better. I also wanted to go for a dubstep remix because that means I can play with effects more to match the beat.

This is an quick example of the type of animation that I want to do. I want to take a video and then draw each frame using Photoshop and put it into a video editing software called Sony Vegas.

Ideas

I like this type of stop motion animation because it's really creative and you can tell how much effort they put into creating the video. 

I like this video because I think it's something that could be easily done but to a decent quality.

Cut out animation

Today I started working to create my own cut out animation. I looked through various of magazines to find out images which would look best in my animation and cut them out and put them together.

South Park


The style of the animation used in South Park is inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons created by Terry Gilliam in his series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' of which the creators of South Park were huge fans of. Construction paper and traditional stop motion cutout animation techniques were used in the original animated shorts and in the pilot episode. Episodes after this started to get produced by computer animation. Before computer artists began animation a series of storyboards were created.

The various stages of production (from top to bottom): the storyboard sketch, the CorelDRAW props with stock character models, and a frame from the fully rendered episode in Toon Boom are provided by the show's storyboard artists.^[45][72]
