The techniques available to filmmakers already offer a vast palette of options — from cut-out paper to CGI — each with their own specificities, but how do animation directors choose the right one for each project? Director Pierre-Luc Granjon started his career working on stop motion films at the French studio Folimage and has since worked with various techniques. His latest film The Night Boots — made on an Alexeieff-Parker pinscreen — won the Crystal for a Short Film at Annecy Festival. We discussed his approach to choosing techniques at the 19th Bucharest International Animation Film Festival (Animest).
