Sharpest: Direct animation

Read "Meticulously, Recklessly WOrked Upon: Direct Animation, the Auratic and the Index" by Tess Takahashi from Sharpest Point. Great in depth analysis of drawn of film, photogram, and other cameraless film techniques. Page 166: "Direct" defined. Page 168, digital described as a threat. Page 172: suggests that direct filmmaking guarantees meaning. and that hand drawn film "index the process of their production". Page 173, "guarantee of authenticity". Page 174, examples of blood and the body use in direct films. Page 176, problem of direct film being categorized only as form in contemporary reviews.
