Ladislaw Starewicz was a pioneer in stop motion animation, creating puppet films from 1910 until his death. His 1912 film The Cameraman's Revenge was among the first to use stop motion animation to tell a story about infidelity among insects. While emotionally aimed at children, his films featured often grotesque figures and creatures. The film used music instead of speech to tell its story and was praised for its creative characters, clear scene changes, and entertainment value despite its old fashioned quality and long introduction. Starewicz's work remains relevant as some of the earliest examples of puppet animation that helped develop the art form.
