I was so excited about this project that I reviewed all of the videos and have been really interested in creating as technical, but there is nearly not enough time for me to learn all the mediums to create something. Anyways.....
Lotte Reiniger's
"The Adventures of Prince Achmed"
1926
This was beautifully crafted and critically thought out. Who knew that animated silhouettes could look so beautiful? The story line was linear. As a viewer I found myself asking a lot of questions, such as: What are these creatures? Why are they bathing? Who is the guy in the bushes? Why is he attempting to hide? Although I could not understand the lettering in this film, I was completely in sync with the piece. The music provided a soft mellow feeling that escalated when there was an intense scenes, such as the one where the man is found in the bushes. The blue color created that lake or pond like feeling. The audience I feel was anyone who was willing to view a piece that transcends the ages due to its ability to create a fairy tale like feel with mystical creatures. Magnificent!!!
