Ivo Caprino

Ivo Caprino was born in 1920 in Oslo, to an Italian father, Mario Caprino, who designed and made furniture, and to Ingeborg Gude, granddaughter of the painter Hans Gude, who made the puppets for his films. In 1949 he patented a puppet animation process; he afterwards nurtured the idea of a magical technique. He made puppet films based on folk tales and many advertising films, then developed a panoramic projection system using several cameras. He died in February 2001.
