The dark and eerie forest..

I've been looking for inspiration for the creepy forest scene in our paper boat animation, or at least something that resembles what I want to achieve, and this video pretty much sums it up. It's a clip from The Adventures of Prince Achmed which is actually the oldest surviving animated feature film. It was made in 1926 and uses Lotte Reiniger's own invented technique of silhouette puppets made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead. The story was taken from the collection of 1001 Arabian Nights.
