How Lotte Reinger and a Pair of Scissors Revolutionized Animation
Ms. Winters reveals how from a young age Lotte loves the theater and Scherenschnitte (German word for "scissor cuts"). These passions lead her to create new ways to animate. She invents the multiplane camera. Walt Disney receives more credit for the animation process than Lotte even though she was animating in the 1920s, ten years before he did. Her accomplishments were mostly achieved right before WW II and after it. Maybe she does not receive as much credit because she was German??
Very interesting!
