Well this field is not totally unknown to Silly Arthur, who has a small repetoire of claymations and other animations that one can accomplish by single framing with a movie camera (Bolex 8mm, tool of choice). In the can, as we filmmakers say. And I have been collecting random vintage 16mm footage over the years - home movies, etc. from garage sales, antique stores, and such. The master plan is to find a way to economically and adequately digitize what I have (telecine is the general term for the technology) and then go play - recognizing the considerable advantage of digital editing over cut and splicing. Technology might also come into play in doing some offbeat colorization of black and white footage, and even perhaps exploring some of the technology available to 3d-ize still images. Soundtrack sync, of course. Perhaps even soundtrack production. A point is that if the point is to get imaginations exercised and realized in this general realm, for children particularly, purely digital, synthetic production is way, way the long way around. More an excuse not to do it, than an avenue towards doing it.
