Project Number 3 involved a process known as Scratch Film.
We were each given a number,mine being the number 9,and asked to produce a 2-3 second piece of animation using this scratch film process.
It is called 'Scratch Film' because it literally means scratching images onto individual pieces of 16mm celluloid film.There are other methods of applying markings onto the film such as inks and lettraset.
It is a very laborious process when you remember that it takes 24 frames to make 1 second of animation.I produced a 7 second piece of animation which means I had to render 168 different pieces of imagery.
I decided on doing a short piece on the 'Nine Lives of a Cat',utilising Lettraset,scratching on the film and black marker pen.Unfortunately not all the image can be seen as the right hand side has been cut off.I'm not sure if this is because I made my markings too close to the right hand side of the film or it was somehow lost in projection.However,I'm still pretty happy with it!
