Preparation Splitting the workload between us, we cleaned up the scanned files, inverted the colours to give us the blackboard effect we were looking for. I found that Japanese water brush gave a great variation in tone and this also worked well as white on black. One problem was that some of the letterforms had become very grey from the ink wearing out on the brush, in editing we needed to try and combat this without overcompensating and making the words look unnaturally even and white. These large pages of script needed to be chopped into individual words, and exported as separate files in order to animate them. We scnned and choped the scripts that we had written out, using Photoshop scripts to export multiple files at once saving us huge amounts of time.
