AI Scratch Cat Dance + Shadow & Outline Test This project is a visual experiment that combines an AI-generated video of Scratch Cat dancing with advanced shadow and outline effects created using techniques from griffpatch’s tutorials. The main focus of this project is to see how realistic, smooth AI video motion can be blended with Scratch’s 2D environment. Scratch Cat’s dance is rendered as an AI-style animation, while the shadow and outline effects help give the character more depth, separation from the background, and a cleaner, more polished look. The shadow and outline system used here is inspired by and based on griffpatch’s shadow & outline tutorial, which demonstrates how to create dynamic outlines and shadows that follow sprites accurately in Scratch. These effects react to movement and positioning, making the animation feel more alive and less flat. This project is not a game, but a demo / showcase meant for learning and experimentation. It’s useful for anyone interested in: • AI-generated animation • Advanced Scratch visual effects • Shadow and outline techniques • Mixing external visuals with Scratch projects Huge credit to griffpatch for the original shadow & outline method — his tutorials make advanced Scratch effects possible for everyone. Definitely check out his channel if you want to learn how this works behind the scenes. Feel free to remix, explore the code, and experiment with your own effects!
