Soyuzmultfilm Cutout Animation

Soviet cutout and painted-paper animation aesthetic: figures and props assembled from flat painted paper or fabric layers with visible fibrous grain and slightly ragged cut edges; articulated planar joints; soft slightly desaturated palette of greys, dusty blues, moss greens and muted browns; diffuse foggy lighting with depth haze and a shallow-focus feel; hand-crafted miniature sets with real material texture; lyrical, gently melancholic mood; planar silhouettes rather than sculpted volume.
