This animated short was created by Russian artist Yuri Norstein, who is known for his attention to fine detail in his beautiful handmade stop-motion films which often include layers of sketches and paintings on paper and glass. It took Norstein almost two years to create this short piece.
Norstein creates delicate movements, a unique sense of depth, and ethereal lighting with these materials, which you can see some examples of in this short piece, Good Night Children, sometimes translated Good Night, Little Ones.
