Craig Wessels on animation and story
What Can Your Creativity Do?/Recorded 2009
A close reading, kept within reach.
Craig Wessels takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2009, the conversation is grounded in Craig's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Using animation creatively can go as far as one’s imagination allows.
