TAPE Presents Direct Animation Workshop (11/8)

Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 3:00 PM to Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 5:00 PM

Heavy Manners Library, Los Angeles

**Direct Animation at Heavy Manners** Draw, paint, etch and collage directly onto 16mm film to create beautiful and rhythmic animations. Direct (or cameraless) animation is the technique of bypassing the camera entirely and applying materials directly to 16mm leader or film. The result is gorgeous, abstract animations that are filled with surprising life and movement. No film or art experience necessary! Kids are welcome. At the end of the workshop we’ll screen our handmade films as a group and participants can take their work home. **Supplies:** We will supply all materials: film, splicer, art materials, and projector. **About TAPE** TAPE is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that helps people create, share, and safekeep analog media by providing low-cost digitization services, equipment rentals, hands-on training, and volunteer opportunities.T.A.P.E — Teach.
