Description

Production notes
Running throughout this film is a series of automatic drawings which were executed in Indian ink on A4 paper (landscape format). Before I moved down to Exeter from Newport in June 1986, Joanna Quinn let me use the Newport animation course acme animation punch to punch registration holes in several hundred sheets of A4 photocopying paper. Joanna and her partner Les Mills taught on the animation workshop at Chapter in Cardiff in the winter of 1986 - this was where I learned 16mm film animation. Both Joanna and Les were really helpful to me, and my supply of paper lasted well into 1988 when I was using a similar process of automatic drawing, using inks and wax crayon to create the drawn animation sequences for my film Unknown Woman.
