William Kentridge uses unique technical processes to develop his animation film, and it cannot be comparable to traditional methods. Kentridge explains how he develops his animation films through stop-motion. The the development of the animation depending on an artist’s imagination. the charcoal and paper technique to draw his character and makes the necessary alterations throughout the process until when the film is done. Charcoal can be easily rubbed and modified for the following image. Kentridge photographs each image drawn on the white sheet to create a sequence that would be compiled to develop the film. The process means that he has to go back and forth to ensure he has made the drawings and captured the images until the film has been completed.

The film is about automatic writing, and it shows the drawing movement on the paper. Automatic writing expounds on the and the thinking process. Kentrige’s technical process used for the film is making necessary changes for every step within the sheet of paper. Kentridge’s technical process ensures that the drawings and the motion move in a related sequence to create a storyline. It reflects the stride he had to make and create changes in the paper and modify drawings to connect the story. The end product in the film is a stop motion of many writings that have been altered between words and human figures.

One unique factor about Kentridge’s art in film is that emotions are used in telling the story. The motion picture has been used to reflect the emotional struggles of the main character within the story. Kentridge explains how using emotions is the best way an artist can tell a story. For instance, the stop motion focuses on an individual in his hospital bed, and Kentridge expounds on his pain by telling the story of how he is in bed. It is a story based on painful emotion, and Kentridge ensures that the images drawn create a somber aura that can be witnessed in that short film.
