To make a cut out animation you first will need to make a story board and cut out your desired shapes/pics and arrange them according to your sortie, then start up iStopMotion and make sure your camera is hooked up and ready, when all that is done then you can begin by placing each picture in its place and press record then move the images but not too much to the next position and keep repeating this proses until you are finished.
The pioneers of the original cut out animation are Terry Gilliam and Lotte Reiniger. Terry Gilliam is known for his great work on the Monty Python animations and Lotte Reiniger is known for his the Jack and the Beanstalk animation. Some examples of modern cut out animation would be: 'B.o.B - Nothing on you' which is a music videos made in the cut out style and 'South Park' which is a cartoon but started off as a cut out animation other good examples are: Angela Anaconda,Charlie and Lola...
The positive side of cut out animation is that you can do a whole verity of things and are limited by your imagination so you can pretty much do anything and it will add a great unique effect, the negatives about it are that its time consuming and you cant make the image come towards the viewer in a 3D way.
My animation went good and I'm happy with it because its smooth and get the story across, the thing I didn't like about it is that it took a bit of time and did get frustrating in bits also the camera was bad so the final product came out very blurry and rough so I would change that next time and also I'll try using bigger cut outs.
When I compare my work to one of Terry Gilliam or Lotte Reiniger I can see that I can pull off the basic concept but still need to try harder and have more patients in order to get it as good as theres that includes the story line.

Eadweard J. Muybridge
1 He changed his name more than his facial hair,His full real name was Edward James Muggeridge.
2 He was acquitted for the Murder of his wife’s lover.
3 He created two panoramas of San Francisco, one seventeen foot long.
4 Francis Bacon owned four copies of Humans in Motion.
5 Muybridge also documented a Baboon in motion.
6 He was born on April 9, 1830 in Kingston upon Thames, England.
7 He is known for his pioneering work on animal movement which used multiple cameras to capture motion.
8 He died on April 8, 1904 in Kingston upon Thames.
9 He was a photographer.
10 He made the Zoopraxiscope which showed motion.
Edward James Muggeridge was born on April 9, 1830 in Kingston upon Thames, England and He emigrated to the US, arriving in San Francisco in 1855, where he started a career as a publisher's agent and bookseller. He left San Francisco at the end of the 1850s, and after a stagecoach accident in which he received severe head injuries, returned to England for a few year and took up photography.
He reappeared in San Francisco in 1866 and rapidly became successful in photography, focusing principally on landscape and architectural subjects, He grew in the photography industry as one of the best and In 1872, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, a businessman and race-horse owner, had taken a position on a popularly-debated question of the day: whether all four of a horse's hooves are off the ground at the same time during the trot. Up until this time, most paintings of horses at full gallop showed the front legs extended forward and the hind legs extended to the rear. Stanford sided with this assertion, called "unsupported transit", and took it upon himself to prove it scientifically. Stanford sought out Muybridge and hired him to settle the question.
In later studies Muybridge used a series of large cameras that used glass plates placed in a line, each one being triggered by a thread as the horse passed. Later a clockwork device was used. The images were copied in the form of silhouettes onto a disc and viewed in a machine called a Zoopraxiscope. This in fact became an intermediate stage towards motion pictures or cinematography, one of the earliest forms of videography. And he killed his wife's lover but he was freed because he had mental problems. He on April 8, 1904 in Kingston upon Thames.
