Our Cutout Animation Process
It all begins with hand-drawn illustrations on paper, which are then scanned into the digital realm. Additionally, we use a Wacom pen tablet for handcrafted digital illustrations, offering a natural and intuitive drawing experience. This blend of traditional and digital techniques brings the animations to life with a touch of digital wizardry.
Picture this process as giving paper animation a 21st-century makeover. The animations retain the texture, depth, and soul of hand-cut paper but without the hassle. It’s like watching a beautiful tapestry unfold frame by frame, with each piece meticulously crafted to perfection. This method preserves the authentic, handcrafted feel of cut-out paper while benefiting from the precision and flexibility of digital tools. All the artwork is rigged to create cut-out styled characters and background layers, ensuring every detail is perfectly in place.
Cutout Animation Flexibility & Quality
Each frame can be tweaked, adjusted, and perfected to ensure your animation is just right. Need a character moved or a background altered? No problem. The digital approach means changes can be made on the fly, keeping your project flexible and fresh. This flexibility ensures that your project evolves smoothly from concept to final cut. It’s all about getting the perfect shot, every time.
