Eleanor Glover- Recorded performance of 'The Constant Tin Soldier'

This is an animation of the performance I went to see at the Shadowplay event. I think Eleanor Glover's work is stunning and I especially like the idea of presenting a fairytale as a contemporary puppet shadow play performance. I think she gave herself more leeway to put her own personal stamp on the story and it also got the viewers more involved and kept all of our attention. I love the idea of the puppet show, Eleanor mentioned that 'Hans Christian Andersen liked to put on his own puppet shows' and because she was illustrating one of his tales, I thought it was really appropriate.

The Little Tin Soldier by Eleanor Glover

I found this lady off the 'Shadow play' event that's taking place in Cardiff from the 2nd- 4th of November, which i'm looking forward to attending. . .

These images are relevant to my work as they are illustrations depicting 'The little Tin Soldier' which is the tale i'm currently working on for my personal project. I think it will be interesting to see how this illustrator approached this. I love to explore shadow play and these silhouettes are very similar to how I like to work.
Here is the website I found this information from.
