Paper Cutout Stop-Motion
Letters snipped from colored construction paper hop onto a paper set at 12 frames per second, boiling slightly from frame to frame like replacement pieces. A warm, handmade look for kids content, explainers and playful brands.
Prompt · replace [TEXT]
Tool-agnosticAnimate the word [TEXT] as a cut-paper stop-motion scene shot at 12 frames per second. Each letter is a chunky shape cut from a different color of matte construction paper, with straight, slightly irregular scissor-snip edges and visible paper grain. Lay them on a sky-blue paper backdrop with a cut-paper sun, two clouds and a wavy green hill. Letters hop in one by one from below on held frames, overshoot and settle; every frame they jitter by a pixel or two and a degree of rotation, as if repositioned by hand, and their outlines boil between slightly different cuts. Each letter casts a soft shadow that grows when it lifts. Hold, do a stepped wave across the word, then let the letters flutter out to the right and loop.
