Innovative Animation Week 2

We looked at the work of Lotte Reineger and how it was a variation of sorts on shadow puppets called silhouette animation. She uses cutouts and moves them in a similar way to stop motion animation. It's a crude style but a rather interesting one there's a lot of freedom within it in how characters are cut out and shaped in a way they can move and flow which is certainly interesting, but seems very fiddly. 

We were then given the script to the play Peter the Wolf, which we read and were then tasked with making it in the style of Lotte Reineger.
