Direct Animation Workshop
This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the art and history of direct animation, working directly with 16mm motion picture film and projection. Over four sessions, you will explore this unique cinematic language by painting, scratching, masking, and physically manipulating 16mm leader and found footage to create your own animated film. Each participant will receive over 100 feet of film to work on, an HD digital scan of their finished project, and the skills needed to continue their filmmaking practice.
What is direct animation?
Direct animation, also known as drawn-on-film animation, or cameraless animation, is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock.
