Fitzcardboardaldo: Cardboard Homage to Fitzcarraldo

Fitzcardboardaldo (above... beware the sound is pretty loud) is the work of puppet designer and paper crafter Robin Frohardt. The short video, an all cardboard homage to Fitzcarraldo (below) was shot and edited by Robin with special help from Nick Chatfield-Taylor.
