Paper cut-out animation

FrédéricBack's choice of technique was always based on two considerations: it had to be appropriate to the subject, and also had to allow him to work quickly since he was perpetually short of time. These considerations prompted his use of paper cut-outs in The Creation of Birds, in which the wind whistles through the trees and scatters the leaves.
