#scratch it

I pulled a quote from a tweet, specifically “you got ghosts in your blood” ‘cause it sounds so metal. 

I ended up changing it to “u got a ghost in ur blood” because ‘ghosts’ was too long a word to fit on 16mm film. 

The animation is as follows: a stick figure fortnite dances without a care in the world. Suddenly, as if struck down by his own hubris, he is struck down and falls dramatically into a heap on the ground. From the ashes of this pile, a simple ghost springs up. Then blood falls from the top of the shot, spelling “blood”, and the ghost appears one last time in the last few frames while “u got a ghost in ur blood” flows one word at a time on the film. 

Was it funny? Yeah. Was it 116 frames? Yeah. Did the craft knife leave permanent scars? Hell yeah. I never want to pick up a craft knife again.
