ADVENTURE!!

I am very interested in the animation styles they have out today. some of them have amazing textures and the backgrounds may have a washed out look. with the television show "chowder" the animators use a mask layer for the characters and move around on a textured background. so when they walk, the textures on their clothes are changing. they even go as far as using mixed media like claymation, puppets, and stop animation for the transitions. Cartoon network also has another animation that follows the same concept but has a different style. This cartoon is called flapjack, It aso has mixed media but they don't use it as much. Their whole opening is a stop animation, which could be misleading if you have never watched it before. Flapjack's backgrounds are usually washed out watercolor and they use alot of dark colors compared to chowder.
