Editing Ivo Caprino (section)

==Innovations==
When making ''Tim og Tøffe'', Caprino invented a method for controlling the puppet's movements in real time. The technique can be described as a primitive, mechanical version of [[Audio-animatronics|animatronics]].{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}  Caprino's films received good reviews, and he quickly became a celebrity in Norway. When he switched to traditional [[stop motion]] film-making, Caprino tried to maintain the impression that he was still using some kind of "magic" technology to make the puppets move, even though all his later films were made with traditional stop motion techniques.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}  Another innovative method used by the team, was the use of [[condom]]s for the creation of the puppets' facial skin.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

In addition to the short films, Caprino produced dozens of advertising films with puppets. In 1959, he directed a live action feature film, ''Ugler i Mosen'', which also contained stop motion sequences. He then made a feature film about [[Peter Christen Asbjørnsen]], who had travelled around Norway in the 19th century collecting traditional folk tales.  The plan was to use live action for the sequences showing Asbjørnsen, and then to realise the folk tales using stop motion.  Unfortunately, Caprino was unable to secure funding for the project, so he ended up making the planned folk tale sequences as separate 16-minute puppet films, book-ended by live action sequences showing Asbjørnsen.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
