Dioscó (Disco) – Animation
Seo píosa as an tríú hiarracht a rinne mé ar scannán cartúin a dhéanamh, ceann darb ainm "Dioscó". Rinneadh é sa bhliain 1995, ag baint úsáide as an teicníc "Cut-out" ina ngearrtar na carachtair amach as páipéar trom agus déantar iad a bhogadh go mall, céim ar chéim, faoin cheamara. Déantar an scannánaíocht ag ráta de fhiche cúig fráma sa soicind, rud a chiallaíonn go gcaitear na figiúirí a bhogadh fiche a cúig uair fá choinne soicind amháin de scannán a dhéanamh. Thig leis seo a bheith an-leadránach agus fadálach.
Bíonn an cúlra sna scannáin péinteáilte de ghnáth. Baineadh úsáid fhorleathan as an teicníc seo san am a chuaigh thart i leithéidi Monty Python. Fóireann sé go mór do scannáin ealaíne. Greamaítear cosa, lámha agus cloigne na gcarachtar le snáithí sa dóigh is go dtig iad a bhogadh go furast.
Taispeánadh "Dioscó" ag féilte scannánaíochta éagsúla ar fud na hÉireann, ina measc an Irish Animation Festival i mBaile Átha Cliath, agus féilte eile i nGaillimh, i nDoire agus Corcaigh.

This is an extract from my third attempt at making an animated film. The film was called "Dioscó" (Disco) and was made in 1995 using the "cut-out"animation technique.
As the name suggests, cut-out animation involves cutting characters out of cardboard or thick paper and then manipulating them on top of a painted background while filming in single frames with a movie camera. I used a 16mm Bolex camera.
It is a form of animation which was widely used in the past, most notably in the Monty Python films. It is particularly suited to art type films where the quirky movements of the technique can be used to good effect.
The arms, legs and heads of the characters are joined to their bodies using sewing thread, so they can be moved independently.
The film was screened at various film festivals throughout Ireland, including the Irish Animation Festival in Dublin and festivals in Galway, Derry and Cork.
