Saturday, October 22, 11am – 2pm
Join Winnipeg-based filmmaker Scott Fitzpatrick for an exploration of 16mm direct animation (also sometimes known as drawn-on-film or cameraless animation), and how it can be used as a tool for creating sound. Participants will learn about different additive and subtractive direct animation techniques, with a particular emphasis on how these techniques can be used to create optical sound.
The workshop will also cover some of the basics of working with 16mm film, loops, and projectors. Prior experience working with 16mm film is not required to have fun in this workshop!
