Suppen Kasper

After creating The story of Little Suck-a-Thumb (Daumenlutscher) I decided I wanted to animate another story from the Struwwelpeter book. But this time instead of paper cutouts I wanted to animate the actual illustrations from the original book.  Using the new Puppet tool in After Effects I was able to create a creepy dance to the character.  JDSY over dubed the audio and helped me break some plates for SFX.  The music was composed by Steve Dannemiller.

The story of Little Suck-a-Thumb (Daumenlutscher) – Struwwelpeter

Inspired by the childrens book Struwwelpeter, this remake of the Daumenluscher story was created out of papercuts taken from 1960′s fation magazines.  I decided to change the ending of the story to be more humerious.  Apprently I am not the only one who finds this story worth animating, another darker version of the story exsists.  A few years later I would create another animation from teh Struwwelpeter book Suppen Kaspar.
