British installation artist Sarah Jane Palmer created the “silhouette animation” The Incredible Mandy Mango.

The Incredible Mandy Mango is a “silhouette film animation” of a Corde lisse performance. It was created by Sarah Jane Palmer, a British artist who works in mixed media, animation, mask making and several other disciplines. She created this using stop motion animation, but the shadow puppet influence is obvious. There’s no reason you couldn’t do something just like this live in real-time with a little practice!
