Lotte Reiniger was an extremely detailed oriented silhouette animator, using stop motion animation to capture her animated movie shorts. Just watching her with a pair of scissors was unexpectedly fascinating, she shows her years of experience cutting out an intricate character in about ten seconds. Her style of character development reminds me greatly of our work in class putting together the skeleton piece by piece. The way the pieces of her character were hinged together also reminded of the bone tool in flash. Her type of animation relies only on silhouettes, therefore impossible to show character emotions and facial features. Her expression is shown through body movement and interaction with surroundings.
