Cameraman's Revenge :: Ladislaw Starewicz

Just when we think we've stumbled upon or created some unique or original art form, a relic from the past reappears and reminds us that other's have come before us.

This Russian stop-action animation using insects as the main characters was created in 1912!

Even the subject matter reminds us that we're not so modern ... a couple and their extramarital dalliances. When you consider how delicate insects can be, the amount of attention paid to the gestures of the "actors" is truly amazing. LINK
