2006 feature film 'a scanner darkly' is a 15 month long project (after principle photography) using a technique called interpolated rotoscope, which is essentially cel animating a video clip frame by frame but in this case it was a feature length film. the animation style looks very quirky, everything is constantly shifting and bubbling in a way which relates to the message that the film portrays; it is a drug awareness film to sway people (teenagers more) away from using drugs, with the unique animation style it relates to the message as in a way it is simulating what it would be like to take the drug in the film. and the story line is the big shocker as it shows the destruction of the brain.

in a way it is a covert deterrent of drug use to teenagers, as the animation used can appeal to teenagers as it is colourful and engaging to the eye, followed by the messages in the film.
