This is an animation technique for creating a stop motion animation from flat paper cut outs of a character, a prop and the background. Not all have to be cut from paper, they are sometimes cut from: card, stiff fabric or even photographs. they are done like any stop motion animation, by taking a series of still images of slightly moved objects and then is played back as a certain frame per second to give the illusion it is moving, this is the exact way cut out animation is created, by moving cut out models to create a series of still images that appear to make the object move.
By today cut out animations such as South Park are mostly done on computers like any other animation in the modern age due to the ability to be more efficient in creating a full show on the computer rather than cutting out separate characters for every scene. This process is done by scanning images being used rather than a physical version of the cut out. Going back to South Park, the Pilot episode was actual physical cut outs of the characters before the creators (Trey Parker, Matt Stone) decided it would be more efficient to create the show on a computer.
This is the first ever episode (pilot) of south park in the best quality i could find on youtube.
