Page "Lotte Reiniger" Paragraph 7

Reiniger anticipated Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks by a decade by devising the first multi-plane camera for certain effects.

In addition to Reiniger's silhouette actors, Prince Achmed boasted dream-like backgrounds by Walter Ruttmann ( her partner in the Die Nibelungen sequence ) and a symphonic score by Wolfgang Zeller.

Additional effects were added by Carl Koch and Berthold Bartosch.
