Georges Schwizgebel, from Switzerland, created The man without a Shadow in 2004. The film was made using the paint on glass technique. The story follows a man who sells his shadow to the devil for wealth and a woman, only to find that people don't like him without a shadow. The film has many complex transitions by messing with techiques such as colour and prespective.
The man without a Shadow won awards at Cannes Film Festival and the Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films.
Run Wrake made Rabbit in 2005.

It is animated in the style of old kids' picture books. The story is a parable that critiques consumerism and loss of innocence.
The Black Dog's Progress was made in 2008 by Stephen Irwin. It is made up by drawings on a series of flickbooks that were later digitally animated. The flickbooks are on a constant loop so the audience can see the past and present at once. The plot tells the story of a black dog that is a stray.
Regina Pessoa made First film The Night in 1999. The film was made by engraving a plaster plate and photographing it, then slightly changing the image and photographing again. In 2005, she made Tragic Story with Happy Ending which won the Grand Prix at the 2006 Annecy Animated Film Festival.
Pedro Serrazina, the creator of the 1995 short, Tale about the Cat and the Moon, also made The Eyes of the Lighthouse in 2010.
The Eyes of the Lighthouse is made using a combination of drawn animation, painting, CGI and live action for the sea.
Modern Toss, a UK T.V series, was first aired on T.V in 2006. It is a Lo-fi adaption of Mick Bunnage and Jon Link’s surreal adult cartoons.
The Modern Toss characters first appeared on a website, then in comic books and then on t-shirts and greeting cards, before they became a T.V show.
I think that The Eyes of the Lighthouse was the film that I found the most emotionally engaging of the above films. I thought that Serrazina blended the drawn animation, painting, CGI and live action very well, and nothing looked stylistically out of place in any of the scenes. I thought that the end was very emotive, despite the fact that there was no dialogue.
