Sons of The King

Animation

This animation is a homage to Lotte Reiniger's Adventures of prince Achmed, with archetypal folk characters appearing in this original animation. Early silhouette animaitons were made by hand using cutouts. And despite what the disney Corporation would have you believe, Reiniger employed the first use of a multiplane camera in a feature length animation. The Sons of the King was completed for my BA degree and is my first exploration into digital animation and how I chose to adapt Reinigers early methods.





I first came across Lotte Reinigers work, The Adventures of Prince Achmed with the below youtube fan video for Radiohead's Sail to the Moon. This also served as a musical inspriation to me becuase this song fits so well with Reinigers visuals; For my animation I employed the music of my friend Oscar, find his SoundCloud here where he is known as Sveum, he is incredibly talented.
