Documentary filmmakers are faced with the challenge of presenting large quantities of complex data in a visually interesting way. Graphics and animation can provide an engaging way to achieve this goal. Well conceived graphics not only get your point across in your story, they can also form the foundation of the branded elements for your film.

Whether you're planning a sequence to drive your storyline, creating an infographic to represent the scope of a social issue, or crafting an opening title sequence to draw viewers in and set the tone for your film, utilizing graphics can be an important component in telling your story.

Laura Nix (The Light In Her Eyes, The Yes Men Fix The World) will moderate a discussion with Gabriela Cowperthwaite, Director of Blackfish, Jen Chaiken, producer, and Ben Lindemuth-McRobie, Associate Editor, of Inequality for All, and Syd Garon, Title and Graphics Designer, covering important aspects of the graphics workflow, including design, budget, story considerations, and technical requirements.
