Storyboard artist and self-described “scribbler” Marty Cooper has come up with a fun and clever way to augment and play with his surroundings. By drawing cartoon characters on transparent sheets of plastic paper, he can place them into real-life situations around him and make his characters come to life. Dogs, birds, monsters, eggs and vampiric oranges are all brought through life using plain old sharpies and white-out. 

Method

I'll use paperboard to make a frame and stick a cel on it. Then I will draw on the cell and take photos and make them into animation.

Response

Initially, I just want to draw a funny character and take a photo for it, however, I think it's too simple and I can make it more interesting. So I decided to make the photos into a short stop motion animation. It is hard to take photos in the same place and same angle with phone. What's more, I have to take a photo then erase the drawing and draw the next frame, because I only have 1 cel which means I have to run back and forth. In general, it's a very enjoyable experiment.
