Corrie Francis
With my extensive repertoire of hand-drawn techniques, stop-motion photography, motion graphics and digital compositing, my animation provides a textural look that sets your productions apart from the usual studio fare. I have done title sequences, introductions and commercial spots. I approach each project from a fresh perspective of stylistic opportunity, aiming to strike a balance between communication and visual innovation. To see a sample of my techniques, please view my demo reel, or read more about individual projects on my website.

Corrie FrancisAs an animator, I see myself as an artist of the moving image. When I was a child, my grandmother, a painter in oils and watercolor, would take me out into the mountains surrounding her summer home at Lake Tahoe. I spent many afternoons under her tutelage trying to harness rebellious watercolors into a plausible representation of a field of flowers or row of peaks. I may have followed in her footsteps, if I had not discovered. at the age of 13, that I could make my drawings move through animation.
While I initially began my career as an animator with the intention of making short narrative films, in recent years I have found myself drawn to a more documentary approach. I use photography in combination with other animation techniques to challenge the separation between the real and imagined worlds we find on film. I have found that grounding animation in real experiences, objects and landscapes creates a visual paradox that invites viewers to engage with their own personal experiences and memories.
