Yuri Norstein

This week's project will be based on Yuri Norstein's work. He has created a 1975 film called The Hedgehog and the frog. His style was made in a similar way to the silhouette animation. He used stop motion with figures. The difference is he painted on his backgrounds and characters and coloured them in as they will be seen on camera with the lights towards the models rather than underneath them.

For my part of this project, I was required to create a stop motion puppet bird which can be manipulated for movement for the animation purposes. 

Here was the process of the animation we were doing.
