I was asked to help create a promotional video using just paper to create a 2D, stop motion animation for the South Asian indie film festival here in Austin, TX. Though it was my first attempt at any kind of animation, it was really fun and I learned quite a bit about the preparation and time that goes into turning a concept into a moving video.
A digital mock up to get the feel for scale between elements, and measurements for the camera view and paper placement.
