Cut out Animation - development

This is my animation in progress on iStopMotion, this is the title screen.

I was going to use a real hand, but I tried it and it didn't look as good as I thought it would, so I decided to use a cut out hand.

These are the drawings that are going to be in my animation, there are three of everything, as there will be shots of whole fruit and shots of fruit sliced in half in my animation. 

Cut out animation storyboards

The reason I have created a storyboard before I did my animation is so that it was an easier process and somethings could be changed if I wanted them to be. It has a column for the visual - these are just simple drawing of the frames that will be in the animation, they are usually added upon when you create it and this is what you will see in the animation itself.

Then there is a column describing what is going on in the scene - as this might not be clear to see or understand in the animation its self or from what is depicted in the visual, and a column for what the sound is going to be. This allows you to write in key pieces of information that might be forgotten when actually animating.
