scanner animation

20 second animation

Heres my "10 second" animation which is actually 20 seconds because it is HALF speed and I cant fix it!

Am embarrassed to put it up - look at it wobble!! lol it didn't look this bad on my tripod-less camera....
But better than nothing I guess!
:)

Animation



^ This is one of my favourite animations. I think the illustrator Jonny Hannah was involved.
(sorry dont know how to post video links!)

My ten seconds is done but i need to finish downloading After Effects before I can put it up!

Very very scary


This is a very strange way to animate an image indeed.
Check out the other facepainting animations this guy has done on his flickr account. I think this guy has a lot of time on his hands!
James Kuhn's facepaint videos on Flickr.

The Crossing. Chiara Ambrosio. Mixed media animation.


Really great example of actually using stills to give the illusion of animation. This artist uses photographs with effects added such as hand drawn elements and excess contrast to distort them. There is a bit of stop motion but it is not smooth so it complements the rest of the animation (and not smooth means easier!)


I like how so much atmosphere is created by using black and white and tilted camera angles. There is also a part near the end where images are projected onto other objects, very inspiring! There are some other interesting effects to try out also, I think on one part each frame of the stop motion has been inverted so it gives the effect of an X-ray!

Thomas Hicks

Thomas has several pages in the latest issue of Varoom the aoi illustration magazine. I first saw his work as animation and immediately fell in love with it - perhaps one of the only animators to really inspire me enough to start animating!
