Yoni Goodman the Director of Animation for Waltz with Bashir will present at Flash on Tap. He worked with Director, Ari Goldman, and Art Director, David Polonsky, to create the award-winning and critically acclaimed animated documentary that deals with the Israeli Army’s mission in the 1982 Lebanon War, highlighted by animated interviews with those who took part.

Waltz with Bashir was initially created as a real video based on a 90-page script. It was then shot in a sound studio and cut as a 90-minute length video film. From there the directors story-boarded the feature so that it could then be translated into 2300 illustrations used to create the animation. The animation format, invented by Goodman, is a unique combination of Flash animation, classic animation and 3D.

Goodman is going to talk about his role and work on the film, including the creation of its unique Flash-cutout technique. We’ll also be screening the film–so you’ll get a chance to hear about how it was created and see the movie. Bring your own popcorn!
