Good Fishing by Walter Ruffler
Paper Animation by Walter Ruffler
A fisherman has hooked a big one, but will he land it or will it land him? In “Good Fishing”, a lever turns the rotation of a crank into the movement of a fisherman landing a fish. He rises up, pulling up the fish – surprisingly a shark! Further crank movement makes him sit, the shark disappears in the waves and the whole cycle man versus shark begins again.
Walter Ruffler, one of Europe's most accomplished automata designers, makes humorous and sophisticated mechanical paper kits. These paper "machines" use cranks, levers, wood sticks, and thread to simulate amazingly lifelike movement.
