This one-day workshop led by artist Sebastian Buerkner will provide an intensive initiation to 3D animation.
Interest in 3D within artists’ cinema has grown in recent years, with artists such as Lucy Raven, Jodie Mack, Malcolm Le Grice, Ken Jacobs and Sebastian Buerkner all experimenting with stereoscopy. Buerkner’s first excursion into 3D, The Chimera of M, won a Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival and was shortlisted for the 2014 European Film Awards.
During the course of the day, participants will be given a practical and theoretical overview of key issues around stereoscopy; from physics and perceptive phenomena to constraints and anomalies. The following will also be discussed:

– multiple strategies for generating footage, editing, and exhibition/distribution
– specialist equipment and DIY alternatives
– experimental 3D techniques, single camera/lens strategies, time stretching, Pulrich effect, Hypo- and Hyperstereo, etc

The workshop will include a practical recording exercise as well as an introduction to aftereffects and digital 3D postproduction. Examples of 3D works by Sebastian Buerkner and other artists will be screened throughout the day.

Having developed his creative practice from a painting background, Sebastian Buerkner (Berlin, 1975) creatively experiments with the medium of animation, combining cutting-edge digital technology with layered, abstract imagery. As an animator, the artist has exhibited widely internationally with recent solo shows at Kunsthaus Nuremberg; Tramway, Glasgow; Sketch, London; The Showroom Gallery, London; Whitechapel Project Space; London and LUX at Lounge Gallery, London, as well as group shows and screenings at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, Whitechapel Gallery, Kunsthalle Wien and more. He was shortlisted for the Jarman Award in 2014.
