Cut Out Video Tutorials
Cut-out is a style of animation that is like puppetry, only the workshop and stage is Toon Boom Studio.
Like a puppet, a cut-out character is made from many independent parts, such as hands, arms, a head, legs and feet.
In Toon Boom Studio, these parts are linked together at the joints and are then animated using pegs, which are like
the strings that move puppets.
Cut-out animation allows you to reduce the amount of drawings you do. Instead of re-drawing your entire character
each time it moves, you can isolate changes to specific body parts - for example, the arm. Instead of redrawing the entire
character when the position of the arm changes, you create the arm in a separate layer and change only the arm when it moves.
Cut-out animation will reduce the amount of work you do. However, it does require some planning and work before you begin
animating.
Following is an overview of how to create cut out animation with Toon Boom Studio V3 and higher.
