a sorry couple with disproportionate and inflexible limbs falls past a wooden cat and cannot be saved by the outstretched hands of some helpful monsters nearby

a short animated clip conceptualized, designed, produced and shot in 14 minutes. which was not nearly enough time. love it anyway because its so strange.

Time inside museums goes by much faster than in the outside world, so when I started this I had exactly 14 minutes to closing. Argh.

autumn travels: Lotte Reiniger Archive, Tübingen, Germany

Lotte Reiniger was an amazing woman and her work inspires me, has inspired me always. If you ever have the chance to visit Tübingen, do it. Forget Heidelberg - Tübingen also is way ancient, has lots of impressively old stuff, they call it the Town Of The Books, 10%student population > historic University, beautifully located near Stuttgart by the river Neckar, great pastry at the royal bakery, less the Heidelberg bus crowds. 

If then you have some time to see the Stadtmuseum for its Lotte Reiniger Collection and some other cool city related artefacts (artifacts), I highly recommend it- even if you are not Silhouette obsessed like some of us.
