A new Scratchtapes pack, this time geared towards Blender users, has just been uploaded. Damage is a reworking of the files from Frame Damage, with some of the elements reworked into demo Blender projects and an asset collection.
A new Final Cut Pro FX template pack has just been added to the Gumroad store. Intended as a compliment to the Frame Damage pack, Analog is a collection of film frame effects, in a variety of formats, with an emphasis on lofi projection and light table viewing.

Home film scanning and projector set ups have built up a sizeable niche movement over recent years, no doubt fired up by the availability of higher resolution digital cameras and the resurgence in analogue film interest. Youtube and social media are awash with examples of various DIY attempts to capture old film collections, or to scan home developed film. While it’s possible to tape a 35mm slide to a bright window, then take a photo, generally the simplest practical set ups take the form of a tripod/copy stand, back light and camera..sometimes tethered to a computer.
I’ve just added a new mini pack to the Scratchtapes page. Interface, which started out as a free template, is a collection of 10 Final Cut Pro templates, for creating retro sci fi, lo tech interfaces and communication screens.
The Scratchtapes Film FX packs are being updated, with a rollout of several micro packs coming over the spring /summer.. Frame Damage Vol2, is a collection of 10 Final Cut Pro effects and a few flare and film clutter transitions, with simple to use controls for adding anything from subtle frame flickers, to extreme film damage effects.
