Summary, in English

Digitization has not only changed the way societies store and share information, but also the view of media. With increasingly portable and accessible technologies, the conditions for the production and distribution of media are changing. The digital has been interpreted in many ways, both as a loss and as something new. A recurring question is what visibility and freedom the digital gives individual creators. This essay aims to highlight this question through a case study of filmmaker Joel Haver and his rotoscope animations on Youtube.
This essay argues for the democratizing potential and the aesthetic conditions of digital filmmaking. Haver and his work is a good example of a film production made possible by digitization. YouTube, which Haver uses as a distribution platform, exists thanks to the digital revolution and has become well-established in our media landscape. The case study becomes a way to understand the democratizing potential and the aesthetic conditions of digital filmmaking.
