Next Step

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'Next Step', which is pretty fascinating in how it plays with the concept of animation. It's made entirely out of risograph prints and shot under the camera, which gives it this raw, tangible feel. You really get the sense that it’s all about the process, with each frame feeling like a piece of art rather than a polished product. The improvisation alongside Amadinda's percussion scores keeps things rhythmically engaging, almost like a dance between sound and image. There's something striking about avoiding post-digital manipulation too – it feels refreshingly honest. Pacing-wise, it ebbs and flows in rhythm with the music, creating this unique atmosphere that’s both rhythmic and visual. It’s a distinctive piece that challenges the norms of animation.
