Southern Arts Federation Episode IV

David Dombrosky interviews Karl Staven. As an undergraduate psychology major, I only took two animation courses, confesses the animation veteran Karl Staven. His professional collection boasts over 20 films, acclaimed still photography, presentations and articles, as well as a full generation of teaching experience. Stavens name is synonymous with creative and innovative animation. He takes inspiration from all over the world for his animation - even the smallest objects in a dollhouse. He says, I first had the opportunity to play around with different animation techniques in graduate school, like 16mm cameras and an Oxberry Animation Stand, and I had some fun!
