T24. Analog Animation: From Still to Sequence with Annette Parra

In this workshop, participants will explore movement by transforming still photographic sequences into a collective analog animation. The focus is on generating motion from static images through gesture, repetition, and rhythm. Working with burst shots or frames extracted from short video clips, participants will print and manually intervene each image using hand coloring, texture, and layered materials. Each frame becomes a physical site of transformation before being re digitized and assembled into a shared film. The workshop operates as a collective laboratory where collaboration shapes both process and outcome. The final result is a collective animation that reflects shared experimentation and authorship.

Outline

1. Introduction and inspiration: presentation of the workshop concept and structure, screening of short experimental references, and group discussion
2. on photography, gesture, and motion
3. Building sequences: definition of an action or gesture, capture of short image bursts or extracted frames, and selection and printing of images
4. Frame by frame intervention: manual intervention on prints using wet and dry media with focus on rhythm, continuity, and variation across frames
5. Scanning and re digitization: scanning or re photographing altered prints, preparation of digital files, and introduction to simple sequence assembly
6. Collective montage and projection: contribution of each sequence to the collective film, final assembly, optional sound experiment, projection, and group reflection on process and collaboration

Participants must bring:

• Their phone to create the images
• Their own laptop to prepare the sequence before printing and to edit the final video using any video editing software of their choice.
