[Frameworks] Cameraless film in the university

[Becka Barker]

I include at least one day of cameraless in my intro animation,
experimental animation, and intro film classes at NSCAD university here in
Nova Scotia. I always have a critical mass of students interested in trying
it, since most of them have never seen celluloid. Our university has a
fairly interdisciplinary orientation overall; our students come at film and
media arts from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds (from sculpture and
textiles to creative writing and design), so having a very tactile, direct,
and accessible way of creating moving images is always a winner here! I
could be biased, though, since cameraless is an important part of my own
studio work anyway. :)

I like seeing so many affirmative responses in this discussion!
