What are Paper Animations?
Paper animations are technically automata. Automata are self-operating machines or mechanisms that usually do a trick when turned. Paper automata have been around since the 19th century. Then, they were scenarios with movable figures powered by sand, hot air, pressed air, push and pull and crank mechanisms. Paper animations is the term we coined for today’s paper automata as today’s are distinctly different from those of the past.

During then our Graphics Subject, Sir Irvine instructed us to bring out a 3o sheets of ¼ paper. I am then curious if what we will be going to do. Then later on he said that we will be making a paper animation through the use of that ¼ sheet of paper.

It was so shocking because I have no idea on what to draw. Then I think of sketching a seed that will turn to a tree. I finished it on time but my classmates didn’t finish it, so we then pass it tomorrow.
