Re-imagining animation : contemporary moving image cultures

Wells, Paul 1961- (Author). Hardstaff, Johnny. (Added Author).

Summary: "Re-imagining Animation is a vivid, insightful and challenging interrogation of the animated film as it becomes central to moving image practices in the contemporary era." "Re-imagining Animation addresses animation's role at the heart of moving-image practice through an engagement with a range of moving-image works - looking at the context in which they were produced; the approach to their preparation and construction; the process of their making; the critical agenda related to the research; developmental and applied aspects of the work; the moving-image outcomes; and the status of the work within contemporary art and design practices."--BOOK JACKET.
