turtle_still.jpg This is an animation I did of an Anansi story as part of my masters’ thesis project on Lotte Reiniger and Silhouette Animation. The characters are puppets made from black and purple poster board jointed together by wire. Background images made from construction paper and tissue paper. Shot frame by frame and animated with iStopMotion, and finished off with Flash, Photoshop and FinalCutPro. Sountrack made in … Soundtrack (using loops of course)! Screened at the 2004 Los Angeles International Short Film Festival.
