About the Workshop
Join us for a one-day risograph animation intensive with designer, animator, and papercraft genius Kelli Anderson! Transform the look of your digital video using the analog risograph process! Bring animation or video footage to print with 2-colors using the risograph printer. You will learn how to prepare a video file for print, how to use the risograph printer, and how to compile the prints back into a digital video file.
This workshop will cover the entire process of taking a video, gif, or animation and turning it into a short looping animation. We will cover how to output frames, how to automate a contact sheet, how to choose color separations, and finally: how to stitch it all back together again. We will go over file setup (instruction will be led in Photoshop, but alternative tool ideas are welcome!), as well as the basic operation of the machine, changing between different color drums, and the accurate registration of multiple colors.
These contact sheets will then be scanned, shared among participants, and we will stitch the frames back together. Everyone attending will receive: printed contact sheets and scans of those contact sheets.
Supplies Needed
Attendees will need to bring in a short animation or gif to be printed.
