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.
