My Parent, Neal is a short documentary about director Hannah Saidiner and her parent as they discuss her parent’s gender transition.
Saidiner describes her creative process as such:
“The film was made using a combination of rotoscoped and hand-drawn animation. Frames were first drawn digitally in TVPaint, then printed out. Each frame was colored by hand with colored pencil and watercolors, at 1/4 of their original scale in size. This scale change then heightened the tangibility and texture of the coloring materials when scanned and enlarged to fit the screen.”
Directed by Martine Chartrand. Paint-on-glass animation shot with a 35mm camera.
