Abstract(s)

In the lecture (Informanimation 2013, University of Sassari, Alghero, Italy, 15 June 2013) that gave origin to this article, optional animation techniques have been introduced as a suggestion to extend the set of current methods in animation training, based on digital technologies, both to produce an image and to capture it into a sequence of frames. Some of these animation techniques have been explored by authors, such as Emile Cohl who used chalkboard and cutouts, Grant Munro and Norman McLaren whom invented pixilation, Blu well known by his graffiti and wall painting animation, William Kentridge who animated charcoal and pastel drawings on the same sheet of paper, or even the Quay Brother’s animation of lifeless things and discarded objects. These practices rely on processes less dependent on computer software and more compelling from the standpoint of aesthetic and of communication possibilities, besides being achievable with limited resources.
