As I’ve mentioned before, good puppetry – much like good animation – requires a good understanding of the power of silhouette  (see previous post). There probably no more pure example of that than shadow puppetry, a medium that this new commercial for Surf Twilight Sensations takes full advantage of. Perhaps the coolest thing about this ad is that it was shot entirely in camera using traditional shadow puppetry techniques.

Special thanks to Hobey for spotting this!
