Lotte Reiniger

Came across these while doing some video research. Made by Lotte Reiniger, a German silhouette animator, who was inspired by shadow puppetry. All her short films are made of nothing more than black paper and backlighting.

"Film is movement. It’s the combination of curves and diagonals that gives ballet and animation their sweet tenderness and their striking directness." - Lotte Reiniger

Thoughts: This could be an option into making a moving image piece. However, how would I interegrate this method into what I'll be portraying?
