The cheapest way to create an animated short is, simply put, not to animate it at all. Rather than actually creating a new set of cel animation drawings, you can simply take some existing piece of clip art and just sort of... move it around on the screen. It doesn't have to look realistic; in fact, the more obviously fake, the funnier it will be. While this is sometimes done for Stylistic Suck, it can sometimes be done to give the impression of a comic book. While forms of this have been around for as long as film, it was until recently mostly associated Terry Gilliam's sequences in Monty Python's Flying Circus and the subsequent films. Now, however, with the explosion of web-based video collages, the techniques have become democratized, and entire new genres based on it have arisen. Compare and contrast Battle of the Still Frames and Cut and Paste Comic. |

Angela Anaconda: It's très interesting how they did this. They had models come in and take about 30 or so pictures for every mouth movement and a mouth movement for every letter in the alphabet. They then took the model's face and mouth movements and created each character. | |

Adventures of Captain Vrungel is one of the few full-length series to be done in this style before computer animation, and the process of creating the 2 hours-worth of footage took about four years to complete. For some scenes using complicated simulated camera angles, though, they switch to cel animation. | |

If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: Essentially runs on a bunch of Warhammer 40,000 artwork, along with some additions (the infamous Fabstodes for example, are literally just the Pillar Men with blackened custodes helmets replacing their heads. Exaggerated in the "historical" scenes, which have literal paper cut-outs with pencil art of characters on them held up by visible Popsicle sticks. Later seasons do add some basic animation, in the form of having people's arms move up and down, or otherwise folding, although it's still quite limited. Leman Russ, for example, technically has a walking animation, but his art can't have its legs separated so he does so by hopping around like he's in a sack race. | |

The [adult swim] cartoon Tom Goes to the Mayor was done using this. The people in the show appeared to be clip art photographs run through Photoshop's "Photocopy" algorithm to render them monochromatic (blue, looking somewhat like a mimeograph of a traced photo) and would usually Jump Cut from pose to pose, with occasional more "sophisticated" movement (like cutting the photograph's arm at the elbow and moving the forearm piece from side to side to make them appear to wave). | |

The music videos for The Chalkeaters' "It Just Works" and "Count to Three" animates every character by having them stiffly move about while being propped up from below, giving them the appearance of stick puppets.
