Internationally renowned animator Woloshen returns to VTIFF with a special animation workshop. Young and old alike will explore the multiple techniques of camera-less filmmaking and discover new ones along the way. Participants are encouraged to choose materials and tools that work effectively, then scratch, paint and collage directly on to the surface of clear leader, black leader or previously shot material. The goal of this exceptional workshop is to explore, play and take risks with animation. All films will be digitized and viewed publicly on the day.
