Scratch project

It was an amazing experience to be able to work with 16 mm film and experience how motion projects were done before. I really enjoyed working with the film, scratching it, applying color and seeing the effects later on the screen. It was more of an experimentation with time and visuals. It was fun to design not knowing what kind of result we'll get. It's so different from the designing in After Effects where you actually can see the results right away.
We all had a number and had to create projects related to that. My number was 1. I approached it as one ever existing, one in universe: world, me, you, life, death, experience....That lead to development of the sequence, which is one me one life - one you - one death. The moving dot represents me, moving from day to night, from life to death, from light to darkness. It starts in a day, which is a clear film with light blue ink on it and long scratches. The dot was made by punching a whole. When the message "one me - one you - one life - one death" is revealed, the dot jumps into the night-death, where I used a black film. The dot keeps traveling along a line till it reaches a word "one" and goes around each letter. The light goes through the hole creating nice shining effect.
