Shadow Play experiment

Beatles and Lotte Reiniger what an inspiration! Yeah the two combine for me in my explorations of shadow play for a sound track.

This little experiment involved making a mini, roughly A2 sized paper screen/ stage with paper backdrops, light filters and many little paper puppets with wire joints and horizontal rods/ sticks for manouvering. First attempt had to be simple with minimum movements the most complex was ofcourse the girl on the cycle...






Had great fun slogging for it, researching for it and yeah best to have friends help me out through the process...for it to see the light of the day literally.......the shoot (well, not very complex yet strenuous) went on till sunrise!

It brings sheer joy to me as the process fructified.......however an eye for perfection cant help me from spotting gawking flaws in it.....Nevertheless...i hope they are passed off as comic elements of the first shot!!

Looking forward to a second attempt may be shorter but more detailed... in the near future!!:)

Cheers!
