What's This?

By Annie Park2013-11-02 20:27:15 UTC

Get your pencils, scissors and glue ready for this week's Mashable Vine Challenge. We want you to capture six seconds of creativity using paper creations.

You can make your animation with cutouts, printouts, drawings, notepads, magazines, newspapers, napkins, tissues or any other type of paper. There's no need to focus your video on any specific theme, so let your imagination run wild with this challenge.

Stop-motion video creator Matt Willis will guest host this round. Check out the incredible work he's has done with paper, here.

Willis works as a graphic designer in Melbourne, Australia. "I started Vining during a brief period off work due to a cycling accident I had earlier this year," he said.

Share your Vine creation by Thursday, Nov. 7 at 12 p.m. ET, using the hashtag #PaperMash. We will revine and feature some of our favorite entries in a follow-up post.

Advice From Matt Willis

"Feel free to use paper that is plain, colored or pre-printed like newspapers," Willis said. "For a smooth animation, I'd recommend printing 35 or more images. Paper casts great shadows too — this can look great in your videos."
