This thesis gives an overview of the concepts and design processes for the making of the animation project “The Surgeon’s Son”. Using practice to support my inquiries into the theories of the avant-garde, this short experimental animation is intent on showing how these influences can be used in the creation of a short animation. This thesis examines how critical theories in contemporary avant-garde and experimental filmmaking can be applied to the design process in computer animation. An analysis is conducted of related concepts in experimental filmmaking such as Jean Baudrillard’s discourse on simulation, and Jaques Derrida’s theories of deconstruction. These topics are then discussed through examples of films and art works that demonstrate these concepts. During this research, a practice-based, discovery-led process was used to develop a visual interpretation of these ideas into a 3D computer animation. The topic was a book of memoirs written by a late relative, which presented an additional challenge of combining experimental techniques with historical facts and story structure. The conclusion discusses how the resulting animation reflects the interpretative process of bringing influential theoretical discourse, often considered outside the scope of current computer animation practice into the design process.
