It was the beginning of a rather long list of shadow animations. A little glimpse of her work can be seen in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmmuseum-duesseldorf.de\/02_02_ach.html\">virtual film museum in D&uuml;sseldorf <\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Music was important in her films. For the film &#8220;Dr. Doolittle und seine Tiere&#8221; (1928)  the composers Paul Dessau, Kurt Weill und Paul Hindemith collaborated with her. She was allowed to use a part of the Pulcinella-Suite of Igor Fjodorowitsch Strawinski and  Benjamin Britten was writing the film music for &#8220;The Tocher&#8221; (1936).<\/p>\n<p>She <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfb.ca\/animation\/objanim\/en\/techniques\/paper-cut-outs.php\">influenced the works of<\/a>  Evelyn Lambart and also of Norman McLaren, who also used paper cut outs like in their film &#8220;Rythmetic&#8221; (1956) and for whom music was also an integral part of their films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by chinese shadow plays and the works of Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s young &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,4,20,18],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
