Final Cut Out Idea:

We have now found and printed the Background. And have cut out The Karl Teletubby.

After that we will upload a picture of Karl the Teletubby before we cut the different body parts off before we film.

I have cut out the Teletubby and now just have to separate the body parts so i can film next week. The backgrounds edges have been cut out and it is ready to use.

Here is the final cut out (with body parts attached at the moment)

Karl the Teletubby :)














The background is ready to use and has been cut out for next week.

Current Cut out Animation stage:

So far we have chosen to use a Teletubby with Karl's face. We have just used Photoshop to cut out the Teletubby face and replace it with an imagine of Karl from Google. We also need to find a suitable background to put in the back of the recording.

We need to print out the image and separate the body parts (by cutting them off). We will then start to record the teletubby dancing.

We still need to chose a Background.















We decided to use an 'Apocolypse' background from Google Images. We will have to print it out A3 size in colour and will put the dancing teletubby infront of it when filming.

This is the background we will use.

Our Cut Out Idea

Our idea will include Teletubbies moving. We could move their arms, legs and heads to make them look like they are dancing. We will need to print a picture of a teletubbie(s) off the internet. Then we will have to cut them out and separate the heads, arms and legs. This will allow us to move the body parts when recording.

When recording we will have to use a flat background so we can easily move the body parts, and record in iStopMotion.

The materials we are going to need is a suitable picture of the internet which we can print and cut out. We will have to make sure all body parts of each teletubby are accessible and then we could use blue-tac to make them stick together when not being used.

Cut Out Animation

Cut Out Animation:

Cut out Animation is having separate drawings on a flat surface which are able to move.  For each part of the image you want to move it will have to be disconnected for the rest. For example if you wanted to move the fingers in a cut out you would have to use 5 separate fingers which you can move when recording.
Cut out animations are recorded with iStopMotion like our other animations. You just have to move the part you want very slowly so when you watch the playback it looks like it is moving. When recording a Cut out Animation you need to record on a flat surface so you can easily move the body parts.

This shows a silhouette cut out animation where all of the body parts move at some point. It also shows you how the fingers move (using 5 separate disconnected fingers). This will have been recorded on a flat background surface to be able to move the fingers and other body parts, the silhouette effect was just probably the characters being shaded.
