It's a filmed shadowpuppet performance.

This is not true, it's a stop-motion animation.

  • Of what?

    • They are jointed paper-cut figures (cut and then fastened with split pins and thread I think), laid out on multiple stacks of glass and ground-glass to simulate depth, and then back-illuminated (just as shadow puppets would be).

      It's frame by frame stop-motion capture, for sure.
