The Periwig-Maker

I have just finished watching a short stop-motion film called 'The Periwig-Maker'. I can't remember where I heard the name of it today but I went to look for it and really enjoyed watching it. The film was directed by Steffen Schaffler and produced by Annette Schaffler. (The names have umlauts on the 'a') It was completed in 1999, runs for 14 minutes 49 seconds and the models were made by Mackinnon and Saunders. Apparently it is based on 'The Plague Years' by Daniel Defoe.
The film can be viewed in it's entirety here and the Mackinnon and Saunders website where I obtained the film information can be found here.
