Skellikin Feet

Home-made, lowest-tech, cut-paper, stop-motion animation about one Halloween night in a cemetery and some bony guys with a lot of rhythm and time on their hands--or feet, in this case--all backed by a very silly song. You could say it's just like "Thriller," but you'd be mistaken. Most of the objects are cut-paper silhouettes--after the technique made famous by German animator, Lotte Reiniger, in the early 1930's.

I always say: "Hope you enjoy it as much as we didn't making it."

All in all, though, it was fun to make.

Thank you!
