This is a Cut Out Animation I made as an introduction to this kind of animation. I used cut outs from newspapers and magazines and a few random objects to create this. I used a USB camera and faced it down onto the table where I moved the cut outs slightly after every frame taken.

South Park

The early episodes of South Park were all made using cut out animation. South Park was first aired in August 1997 and was created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. It's based around 4 kids in South Park and follows their adventures.
