Actually, in my junior year in high school in 1970 we did something like this. The art teacher had obtained some lengths of clear 16mm film, and exposed black 16mm film. We cut it up and gave it to various class members to draw, scratch, color at will. One guy's dad had some 16mm Korean War film, so we edited scenes of flamethrowers attacking bunkers and lines of POWs in with our orginal artwork. Taped some garage band rock and roll to play behind it, and the whole class had a blast. (literally) Gosh, I just realized how artistically uptight I am in my old age!
>> Anyway, there is a genre of experimental film in which the artists just lays the film out and stamps, paints, and scratches it, then processes it sloppily and awaits the surprises in projection. Film frames are ignored. Registration is ignored. In this spirit I am making a pinhole movie with a cardboard box. My stamped images will fall hither and thither and jump around the screen upon projection.
