Abstract

Animation was perceived as a kind of illusion in the early years with its structure that creates out of nothing, destroys what exists and violates the laws of physics. All animations from the past to the present are experimental at some point because animation is a process of discovery in itself. Especially the early years are a process of experimentation in which the medium is explored both technically and stylistically. In this study titled “Experimental Animation”; independent animation, the comparison of experimental animation with commercial animation, the relationship of experimental animation with painting and sculpture, new media, music, abstract art and direct film technique are discussed and the subject is tried to be explained with examples. A limited number of studies have been encountered in Turkey on this type of animation, in which different techniques and materials are experimented with, which is usually screened in festivals and as short length films. It is thought that this article will shed light on other experimental animation studies to be conducted in the future.
