Direct Animation is a unique filmmaking technique in which images, textures and patterns are hand-inscribed on the motion picture film itself, using paint, markers, etching tools, collage materials and other media. Maxwell discusses and demonstrates basic techniques of direct animation and elementary principles of the frame-by-frame process of animated filmmaking. Both 16mm and 35mm film stocks are made available to workshop participants for experimentation. In addition, cameras are provided for re-photographing handmade films to allow artists to digitally manipulate original imagery. During the workshop excerpts from well-known historical and contemporary works are viewed.
