In my theater days, I worked with a theater called the Empire State Youth Theater Institute and they presented a great show by the Laterna Magika called The Lost Fairy Tale, that used a similar technique and let me tell you, it was just the coolest thing to watch! We were working backstage up in the fly gallery and it took us a while to realize that there were people actually moving everything!
So this is a video from Japan and they are doing some very similar work! It's a very good reminder of how it's the content, not the technology that makes a story work. You can see all of the tricks behind what's happening, but it's still a great visual experience!
So watch & enjoy!
