What is sillhouette animation?

Silhouette animation is a type of animation that uses silhouettes or dark shapes against a light background to create movement and form. The characters and objects are typically cut out from paper or other materials and then moved frame by frame to create the illusion of motion. This type of animation was first popularized in the early 20th century and was used extensively in silent films and music videos. Despite being a relatively simple technique, silhouette animation can be used to create dramatic and expressive visuals, and it has continued to be used in modern animation projects. Some well-known examples of silhouette animation include Lotte Reiniger's "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" (1926) and the opening credits of "The Pink Panther" (1963).
