Animation on one hand echoes and imitates large scale film production processes. On the other hand it offers possibility for a film-maker to operate almost entirely alone So arguably it is the most auteurist of film practices. Even at its most collaborative it requires cohesive intervention of an authorial presence
The Avant-garde
‘The French term originally designated that section of an army which marched into battle ahead of the main body of troops (the ‘van’) but has come to be used in both French and English to describe pioneering or innovatory trends in the arts, and especially music and the visual arts. It originates in the work of utopian socialist Henri de Saint-Simon (1760 – 1825) who applies it to the elite of artists, scientists and industrialists who will be the leaders of the new social order" ~ Macey, D (2000), The Penguin Dictionary of Critical Theory
