Using Graphics and Animation in Documentary

Discover the power of using graphics and animation in documentary filmmaking. Animators and graphics designers Yasmin Mistry (Idesygn creative, LLC), Daniel Shepard (Being Mary Tyler Moore), Sean Donnelly (Stamped From The Beginning) and Julie Gratz (Kaleida Studios) guide us through the intricate process of integrating visual elements into your storytelling, delving into the distinctions between graphics and animation and helping you determine if animation will enhance your narrative. Fundamental topics such as stylistic, budgetary and scheduling concerns will be addressed. Gain valuable insights into how these techniques can enhance the storytelling impact of your documentary, empowering you to make informed choices that captivate your audience.

All Winter 2024 PRO attendees are invited to wrap up the season with an exclusive peer-to-peer consulting session. Engage in small group consultations where filmmakers walk away with concrete insight into a current dilemma. It’s a unique opportunity for collaborative learning and meaningful exchanges. A follow-up email with joining details will be sent to all winter 2024 registrants.

Tickets are $19 ($14 for IFC Center members). Tickets are non-refundable.

All registrants may participate in the live session, and will also receive access to the recorded event, a written transcript, the chat transcript and a copy of the slide presentation (if available) after the livestream.
