Animation lends itself to all sorts of techniques, inventions and formats – from paper cut-outs to 3D, from cartoons to animated painting, from motion capture to stop-motion – one frame at a time. In Romain Delerps and Alexandre Hilaire’s documentary, Florence Miailhe, Christian Volkman, Benjamin Renner and other filmmakers present the individual approach to their work, whether traditional or a new trend.
