Elizabeth Hobbs is a traditional animator with a background in artist’s books and printmaking. Her films are made under a rostrum camera, and in the production of her animated films she has used relief print on 35mm film, butterfly prints, images created with a typewriter, paint on a bathroom tile, collage and paint and ink on paper. The films are often based on historical figures or literary adaptations and they’re sometimes funny or rude. Elizabeth likes to share her process and techniques through workshops, masterclasses and lecturing. Elizabeth is senior tutor on the Directing Animation MA at The National Film & Television School, and Associate Lecturer on the MA in Animation at London College of Communication.
