Page "Drawn-on-film animation" Paragraph 5

The first and best known practictioners of drawn-on-film animation include Len Lye, Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage, then later artists including Steven Woloshen, Richard R. Reeves and Baerbel Neubauer, who produced numerous animated films using these methods.

Their work covers the whole span between narrative and totally abstract animation.

Other filmmakers in the 1960s expanded the idea and treated the film stock more and more radical towards destruction, up to the point where a film was treated beyond any possibility to survive projection.

Some artists made this destruction a statement, others went back one step and copied the original work film strip to get a projection copy.
