DOCUMATION

Documation ( /dok·yoo·MAY·shun/ n.) - A hybrid storytelling approach where documentary meets animation, creating visual sequences designed specifically to support real-world stories. Used when archive is missing, stock footage falls short, or events exist only in memory, documation fills the gaps with crafted animation that explains, simplifies, and visualises the unseen. It turns complex ideas into clear moments, abstract experiences into something tangible, and emotional truths into images that linger. Rather than replacing reality, documation enhances it, giving documentary filmmakers a flexible, expressive tool to tell stories that couldn’t be shown any other way.
