I sometimes confuse his shorts with Zeman's earlier stuff, like INSPIRATION. One of these guys did a stop motion short featuring glass figurines. Between frames, their joints were heated until they softened, then moved. When they cooled enough another frame was shot. In the film, you can see the joints occasionally glow a faint cherry red.


I have a book titled "Jiri Trnka: Artist and Puppet Master" by Jaroslav Bocek. It is profusely illustrated, almost on every page, but there's nothing that looks like glass figurines. I guess someone else gets credit for that one.
