These are the kinda things ive been scanning. Had something of a brain wave the other week at work. I work at a printing place, and was looking at all the paper that had been guillotined, dilled, holed etc. Some of the finely cut paper looked interesting and using these scraps linked nicely to our word ‘Abscind’.
If nothing else I think some would work well as a light and overexposed background for the main animation to give it more depth, and some of these sharp spikey scans could work with the scratchy tones.
I inversed some, can’t decide whether I prefer the white background or black

This is very strong for me. I find it strongest with a white background – perhaps it’s the stark brightness that gives it more of a shock. But I can also imagine having both black & white backgrounds, with abrupt cutting between them. Or moving gradually (& roughly at the same time?) from one to the other – one way to do this would be building up or stripping away the level of black/white from strips of paper. Or the image could start white and split apart (abscinding?!) to reveal the black underneath (or vice versa).
