Laughing Moon

A yellow circle (the ‘laughing moon’) pops out of a black square, which breaks into several shapes of a puzzle. The shapes move and combine to create characters, vehicles and objects. Although there is no clear narrative as such, this cut-out animation has a fable-like quality: All the creations attempt to possess the moon, but it has a nature of its own and none manage to get the better of it.

A fabulous stimulus for creating your own cut-out animation.
