Animist Animator?

What might movement-centred, kin-centric film-making look like?
Abram on Animism: ...'the instinctive experience of reciprocity… between the perceiver and the perceived — lies at the heart of all human perception.' (Abram,2018)
​

The spooler (digital-flick book-with-physics below) and walkerscope involve the physicality of the viewer, the Quizzer is situated, flick-books-as-navigation add back movement/materiality/interrelation into moving-image.
Spooler: visual assets by Rachel Henson, webapp development by Neil Manuell
​Abram goes on: 'While such participatory experience may be displaced by our engagement with particular tools and technologies…’

(For this reason, I chose against a digital interface in the outdoors…)

‘...it can never entirely be dispelled. Rather, different technologies tend to capture and channel our instinctive, animistic proclivities...' (Abram,2018)
​

(...yet the spooler banks on our evolutionary appetite for 'things that move.')
