    SHADOW PHOTOGRAPHY

    LOTTE REINIGER

    Who?

    A German film director and the foremost


    pioneer of silhouette animation, releasing her
    first feature-length silhouette film 10 years
    before Walt Disneys Snow White.
    Born June 2, 1899.
    Some of her work featured music by Mozart.

    What?

    Reiniger made over 40 films over her career,


    all using her invention.
    She cut out around 100,000 silhouettes by
    hand.
    She used different colour lights to create
    different moods.

    As a teenager, Reiniger fell in love with cinema, first


    with the films of Georges Mlis for their special
    effects.
    Then the films of the actor and director Paul Wegener.
    In 1915, she attended a lecture by Wegener that
    focused on the fantastic possibilities of animation.
    Eventually she convinced her parents to allow her to
    enrol in the acting group that Wegener belonged to,
    the Theatre of Max Reinhardt.
    She started making silhouette portraits of the various
    actors around her, and soon she was making
    elaborate title cards for Wegener's films, many of
    which featured her silhouettes.
