Optical Printing

Course available by Permission of Instructor
only.
This class offers an introduction to the method,
magic and madness of optical printing: the
wonderful possibilities of re-filming film.
Students will learn how to perform time
manipulations, multiple exposures, format
transfers, and matte and title making, with
training in the use of the Acme Optical Printer &
the Oxberry Animation Stand.

Intense workshops will be supplemented with
screenings of films displaying printing
virtuosity: from Hollywood spectaculars to
B-movie mayhem to avant-garde wonders.
Students will be required to complete a series of
short assignments and produce a short film.
