In this in-person workshop, participants will learn how to animate directly onto 16mm found-footage film, and 16mm blank film. They will use alcohol-based markers, collage, and scratch-on-film techniques. Participants will learn the fundamentals of animating 24 frames per second, and the basics of film handling. Participants will get to view their creations on a projector afterwards.
You don’t always need a camera to make a film! Join Robin as we explore camera-less animation techniques with 16mm film, by scratching, drawing, painting, hole-punching, and more. These techniques have been used for decades, and are a great introduction to both analogue film and the principles of animation. You can bring your own film, but film will also be provided at the workshop.
