Ladislaw Starewicz- The Cameraman's Revenge. 1912


Ladislaw Starewicz was a pioneer in puppet animation. In "The Cameraman's Revenge", the characters were real dead bugs with  wire limbs. This made them easier to move around in stop motion animation. I really like this animation because, even though it's horrible with the bugs, it's really well done, the bugs have human mannerisms and I think it's just hilarious watching bugs driving cars or riding bikes. I think that, even though it was done in 1912, it is done in a way that would still be interesting and unique today and I think that's a really good quality in animation and art.
