Cut out animation: is an animation technique that is used from 2D shapes such as paper, stiff fabric or photographs, the characters and backrounds are made from these materials.

The earliset cut out animation was made by Quirino Cristiani in Argentina. Today Cut out animation is made by useing computers using scanned images or vector graphics.

Vector graphics is using Geomatrical primitives like points, lines , shapes or polygons, which all come from mathmatical equations.

Famouse artists who use this technique are Noburu Ofuji who createed the Thieves of Baghdad, The Adventures of Prince Achmed by Lotte Reiniger, L'armata Brancaleone an italian film animated by Emanuele Luzatti and theres many more.

Cut out animation is simpler then drawn animation, because this type of animation only consists of using different shapes and sizes made from different materials, which is definatly more simpler then drawn animation which has to have many frames and very detailed drawing.
