    Lotte Reiniger was a German filmmaker who pioneered the animation technique of silhouette animation. She would cut out individual pieces of paper to represent each part of the body, allowing her to create the illusion of fluid human movement. Her process involved carefully cutting out each part of the puppet's body separately. Her films were done entirely in black and white, which gave them a dark and sometimes scary aesthetic quality by making forest backgrounds feel like horror movie scenes. Her technique of silhouette animation built upon traditions of Chinese shadow puppets and still influences some modern animation through its emphasis on simplified figures and movement.

    Why is this form of animation effective? What's not so effective?

    New developments in Media and Art are often not themselves brand new but instead learn
    and build upon work of the past.

    As Lotte Reiniger was one of the first feature length animators do you think we can see any
    influence of her work in animation today.
