Lotte Reiniger

Reiniger was a female animator in the 1950s, she worked with paper cut-outs in a different way to the artists I have looked at so far and worked with silhouettes. This is similar to the way my boy will appear in the sweet land levels, but the way they move and the actual animation process may be more helpful to look at for my real world animation experiments... here is an example of her work:


Her later work had some coloured backgrounds, but still mainly silhouettes...
