“I Have Your Heart” – A paper cut-out stop-motion animation

Combining the artwork of Molly Crabapple, the Music of Kim Boekbinder, and animation of Jim Batt, “I Have Your Heart” is an extraordinary cutout stop-motion animation

 

MK&J: Making this film was a long and detailed process. The characters and scene elements were hand drawn by Molly Crabapple, then scanned and photoshopped into layouts for moveable puppets, props, and scenery. These were printed on a thick paper stock, cut out by hand, and crafted into freestanding characters and sets. This paper world was then brought to life frame by frame with stopmotion animation by Jim Batt, using a trusty Canon 7D and Dragonframe software. Kim Boekbinder created an extended version of her song ‘The Organ Donor’s March’ to score the finished film.
