Participants will get to try out direct drawing and etching techniques on 16mm film for a tactile animation experience. There will be a concise introduction to the medium of 16mm film and mechanics of projection. Working frame by frame in a collaborative setting, we will create a short experimental film that considers the potentials of handmade film, including how image is used to make sound in the optical track. Animators will explore the range of movement that is available in a small frame size, from the nearly impossible ‘hold’ to the much more natural ‘strobe’ and ‘morphing’ techniques. We’ll look at inspiring examples of direct-animated films to get us started. The film we create will be screened at the conclusion of the workshop.
Open to all ages and levels of experience; students 10 and under should be accompanied by a helpful adult. $10 suggested donation at the door.
Advance reservation is recommended and can be done HERE.
