I incorporated Risograph printmaking, as this technique creates its own slight movement in the texture which brings the animation to life in an unusual way. The ink overlays in printing create a distinctive look with a minimal amount of colour and the paper grain from the scans of the prints adds a hand-made feel to the film. It was important to me to implement this technique as I wanted the film to have a physical presence, not just result in a collection of pixels on the screen. For me animation lies somewhere between fine art and cinematography. I always enjoy the creativity of making and the possibilities that the medium brings.
