A kirigami model
Kirigami (japanese: kiru - to cut; gami - paper) is a variation of the Japanese art form Origami and involves cutting of folded paper to create different shapes. It is a good way to create free standing 3D models, frames, stencils and decorative items.
For my model, I am planning to use Kirigami models alongside the basic hard board layout to inculcate a more rough (intentional) and cut out kind of a feel. The kirigami models are easier to maneuver and bend as compared to a harder material model and thus will make filming much easier and give a more organic appeal to the model.

Current Practitioners - Steven Warne
Steven Warne is the animator for Wallace and Gromit and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. Having been fascinated by inventing and controlling little worlds from the time he was a little child, he landed himself an internship with Aardman at the age of 15. When at Aardman, he learnt in depth, the scale and magnitude of animation production. Warne has a clear cut animation style and specialises in stop-motion. He believes that stop-motion has a bright future and thinks that it is a good way to show creativity. Following are his top films:
Street of Crocodiles (Brothers Quay)
Creature Comforts (Nick Park)
Stage Fright (Steve Box)
Hedgehog in the fog (Yuri Norstein)
Loves me…loves me not (Jeff Newitt)

Model scale
Found the scale and style I'm going to be working with. Since I haven't made my model yet, I have a visual reference from the internet which would describe roughly what I'm working with!

Stop Motion in real life.
A style I personally admire in the Stop Motion category. A mix of real life and surrealism.

STOP and Stare!
Another great stop frame video. Coldplay's finest :) I'm betting those are chalk drawings. But wow, a lot of effort. And time. And a bunch of great artists!
So nice!
