Jumping Orange Juice. Stop-motion animation with felt cut-outs. This was my cut-out animation homework assignment for the @dogbotic stop-motion course I’m teaching. I like to also do the homework that I assign.
Since I wanted the fronts of the cups to always be in front of the juice, I glued them to a piece of glass on a hinge (well, more like some pieces of tape). The glass inconsistently landed every time I put it back down, which made it rather jiggly. I decided to just make the whole animation jiggly so the glass inaccuracies didn’t look so out of place. I’m into roughness these days, so I welcome this kind of thing.
The hardest part about working with glass is trying to avoid reflections while doing the kind of lighting that minimizes harsh shadows. I had to animate in basically a black pillow fort.
