For one-hundred years, animation and its techniques have evolved to the point where there are dozens of ways to make a picture move.
For example, there’s the cartoonist style of individual paintings, clay-mation, puppetry, and stop-motion photography. And these days, computer graphics make life-like scenes that are the staple of disaster films.
For this week’s What is… , Adam Connors looks at animation, beginning with the inventive works of Scot-Canadian, Norman McLaren.
He also speaks to festival curator Malcolm Turner, CG director Cameron Crichton and stop-motion animator Randall Lynton.
And, if you’re in Melbourne this week, you can catch some of the world’s best at the Melbourne International Animation Festival showing at ACMI in Federation Square.
