She taught herself how to cut paper silhouettes( 剪 影 ), of people, animals, and objects. “I could cut silhouettes almost as soon as I could manage to hold a pair of scissors,” Reiniger said. “I could paint, too, and readBut everybody was surprised at the scissor cuts.”At first, Reiniger wanted to be an actress, but her skill at making silhouettes drew the attention of the German film industry. Before 1927, films were silent. To help the audience understand the film, title cards with printed text appeared during the film between scenes. Reiniger helped create title cards for films, using her silhouettes. In 1918, she was asked to provide stop-motion animation(定格动画), in which objects are photographed(拍摄) in a series of slightly different positions and then replayed at high speed so that the objects appear to move on their own, for wooden rats( 老 鼠 )in the movie The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It was a breakthrough that led to her own films, first short films and then, in 1926, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first full-length animated film.Although Reiniger once described herself as “a primitive(原始的)caveman artist”, her work is not simple.She carefully cut bits of card, paper and wire, creating wonderful shapes, and then made them move and dance by hand. The black shapes were then placed on colourful backgrounds. She made more than 60 films, around 40 of which survived, all cut by her own hands. Most were based on timeless fairy tales, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.Reiniger was truly a pioneer both in animation and for women in film-making. Though her last film came out in 1980, her style is still influential and can often be seen in todays films.1. What do we know about Reinigers cuts?A. People silhouettes were her favourite.B.
