Hi Adam, This animated/erasure sounds a lot like William Kentridge. I can't locate my file excerpts of his films (they're hard to come by), but did it involve charcoal, erasure, and then redrawing?
There's a long essay on this work by Rosalind Krauss in October that's quite good (if this is the film you're thinking of). I do always love this game.
