Cutout animation
Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs.
Today, cutout-style animation is often produced using computers, with scanned images or vector graphics taking the place of physically cut materials.
