This experiment was my attempt at syncing music to visuals on a 16mm clear film leader.
Moodboard
I wanted this project to be somewhat of a scratch film. Dealing with light, translucency, and layering is what drove me to this medium. Studying the work of Norman McLaren sparked the idea to combine music with visual elements.

Process
Extremely time consuming, but liberating because I decided after a point to paint whatever I wanted. I scanned sections of the film on a digital scanner and composited each image in AE using the position and parent tool. I ended up drawing on the whole 50-foot leader, which is 800 frames.
