Two Silhouettes (1946) features rotoscoped animation. Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films. The dancing silhouettes are from images of ballet dancers (and husband and wife) David Lichine (1910-1972) and Tatiana Riabouchinska (1917-2000). They were both Russian expatriates, but their families left Russia following the October Revolution (1917).
