This course focuses on the art of the created motion picture im- age, which springs from the imagination with the help of tools such as animation, optical printing and digital construction and manipulation. This approach contrasts with the more tra- ditional production of moving images, which focuses on and photographs aspects of real and existing objects, whether these are actors and sets or the world of nature. This course concerns films which spring from the imagination, literally from the mental pastures of human dreams, from the subconscious ra- ther than the conscious mind.
