The Adventures of Prince Achmed

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is an interesting silent film that is composed of paper cut outs and uses stop motion animation. I think the reason why I was so intrigued with the film was due to the interesting lighting and how remarkably well the stories were conveyed with out the use of dialogue.  The color in conjunction with the beautiful score make for an entertaining and effective piece.
