Visual Research

After researching an animation on PES, whose work was heavily influenced by Jan Svankmajer. I came across this video in which shows a unique paper animation involving a motorcycle. I really like the use of paper cut outs in this animation. I also like the idea of bringing paper to life.


I next had a look at this video, which was also created by PES. This video consisted of two love swans made out of fabric towels. I was really inspired by this piece because as well as being a love story, it presents animals made from everyday objects, which I find interesting.
 

After watching both of the videos, it gave me an idea of meshing both videos together and to make an animation which involves origami animals. I chosen this because it's a technique that is new to me.

Here is an example of origami stop-motion animation.

Here is another example of origami stop motion animation.

Although it lacks colour, I like the visuals on this video. Most assets are constructed out of paper, or at least appear so. It features many folding animations and transitions between scenes.
