Zap on

United States / Animation / 00:01:30 min

“Zap On ” is an experimental film made by Colorado artist and filmmaker John Dawson in 2024. This short film is 100% hand made by drawing, painting and scratching directly onto 16mm film stock. It is paint with a pulse and abstraction that moves. I am taking an old school technique and trying to do something modern and current.
