Re-imagining Animation
examines the animated film as it becomes central to moving image practices in the contemporary era. Animation was once constructed frame-by-frame, one image following another, but now the creation and manipulation of the moving image has changed.

With the digital revolution invading every creative enterprise and form of expression, pencils have become pixels, dreams have become data, and animation – once merely an adjunct of film – has become central to the whole cinematic enterprise.

 

Reimagining Animation addresses animation’s role at the heart of moving-image works – looking at the context in which they were produced, preparation and construction, the process of their making, research, development and applied aspects of the work as well as moving-image outcomes, and status within contemporary art and design practices.



Professor Paul Wells is director of the Animation Academy at Loughborough University in the UK and has published widely in the field of animation.


Johnny Hardstaff is an internationally established award-winning designer, film-maker and artist. He has written several books on Gaming and produced innovative pop music videos for Radiohead, among others.
