That looks amazing, Jonathan!

Still makes me think about software applications, but I think you’d lose a lot of the rhythm/sensory aspect of it.

Nice music, too … now checking out some of your music, as well.

I worked on an awesome Aesop Rock video that is reminiscent of this: We printed out and hand animated 90% of the video. was hard work. Asif, the director really worked his ass off on this. Turned out great.

I did an animation for a class one time, and it needed something more in terms of atmosphere, so I used a similar effect:

I printed out all the frames to 8.5×11 sheets, with 16 frames per sheet, and then ran all the sheets through a photocopier twice (maybe 3 times?), then scanned them all back in and used photoshop automation to chop the sheets back up into the original frames.

Quite an annoying way to add dirt to an animation, but gives a really nice effect which would be difficult to achieve through plugins.
