http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/?p=1264 features a handful of stills of the film "The Merry Circus" by Jiri Trnka. I wonder if anyone creates and thinks along those visuals today.

We produce cut out animation in ASP. And have just developed it further for a few things including a 13x30 minute show.

This was the first project we did with photo cut outs:

Everything is produced with photo's including the bgs.

Yes, I remember. But I was specifically asking for drawn cutouts - sorry if that wasn't clear.

Today I saw another example of a nice style, at least in some scenes: http://dekku.blogspot.com/2007/11/stuar ... uckoo.html. The animation is ... well, we could do that better, right?

Almost all Moho-work I do is cut-out.

Wow, David, that's great! I was wondering why that file size was so big, but that's what textures do. Unfortunately paper scans and noise get completely lost when displayed in small windows on the web, they're only visible on the big screen.

Thank you.
Yeah, that's a thing you have to consider when creating your films, which medium you are going to show them in. And then you have to compromise.
I guess that's one of the reasons for flash's popularity, it looks decent on a monitor.
I'm doing a project now, in paper cut-out, where the target medium is the web, television and maybe even cinema-screens... It's a tough nut to crack how to get it to look great on all mediums. Probably we will just accept a loss of detail for the web and have the other versions show the images fully textured.
