Background - Penta

My animation course has us experimenting with different media. We were told to make a monochromatic cutout stop motion animation (Similar to Lotte Reiniger).
The animation was to use Edgar Alan Poe's 'Conqueror Worm' as a reference.

Heres the background I made, I used normal willow charcoal and it took like 40 mins, that stuff is so easy.

Here's a link to a very WIP gif of the animation. (not stabilised or anything, and each shot was done on my phones camera, cus I was too lazy to wait for the real camera ) imgur.com/SkfeNWQ
