Wanted: Creative people for the Don't-Do-It-Yourself Animation days

27 Oct 2008
1 Nov 2008

Appeal to animators, VJs, video artists and musicians from Flanders and the Netherlands to contribute to an all-evening programme for the Museumnacht during the Don’t-do-it-yourself Animation days.

What are we going to do?
The animation jam sessions from Monday 27 October to Saturday 1 November are part of Club Voyeur, organised by Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond in collaboration with Vlaams-Nederlands Huis deBuren. We are all, whether beginners or advanced, working in one space on new films. Video, flash, 3D, clay, paper, sampling, relay: it is going to be a fantastic experiment and a unique occasion to get to know your animation brothers and to exchange tips and tricks. There will be a workshop from Creative Commons for online collaboration & sampling, and animations profs will step on to the soapbox to tell their story.

Presentation during Museumnacht
The climax of this enervating week of jamming is the presentation of the Gesamtkunstwerk during the Museumnacht on 1 November. The jury will be viewing the harvest of brand-new animations, and award a prize to the best of them. Afterwards, the dance floor will be beckoning. And not just in order to relax those mouse-strained arms: when the VJs mix all the animations into a mega mash-up, feet will join in without having to be urged.

When is it?
- The hall is open from 27 to 1 November from 10.00h to 22.00h, but you don’t have to be there every day.
- Museumnacht is on 1 November from 19.00h – 02.00

Where is it?
Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond, Nes 45, Amsterdam

What does it cost?
Nothing.

Registration
In order to join in this unique animation experiment, you can register through doehetnietzelf@gmail.com. Do also check out the website www.doehetnietzelf.org/animatie. There you will be getting to know the other participants and exchange ideas. It is also the site where the completed animations will be shown. Of course they do go together: state-of-the-art technology and old-fashioned fun.

What if I’m interested but I can’t take part?
Come round and take a look whenever you like and party along during Museumnacht.
