The next animation that I did is a technique called rear-lighting.
Like a cut-out animation the basic principle is to use paper cut outs. This time though they are placed and a slightly transparent surface and lit from behind making the cut-out appear as silhouettes.
I completed this around October so I decided to go with a Halloween theme. What I came up with is the basis of skeletons playing strip poker. You have the one skeleton who deals out the cards, they all examine what they have. After they lay down we find that the smallest is the loser so in payment the other 2 take his head.
To make the characters I printed skeleton decorations from online, cut them out, and glued them to a harder paper. I ran into some difficulty as the surface I had to animate on was much smaller than I had previously anticipated. So it became a challenge to fit all 3 characters in the frame.
It ended up being just over 10 seconds long, and I hope you enjoy it.
