After the introductory research element of this module, we moved on to looking at how we could make our images move. I made a series of small, animated motifs - a sunken oil ship bobbing up and down, a flying seagull based on one of my previous 12 images and a lion yawning
As a group, we were asked to create a short animation using the motifs we had created, as an introduction to moving images - heres what our group came up with
extra simple stuff - I made like, 13 versions of the same bird with not enough variation in between. I could have basically just cut out one and moved it for the same effect. Quite fun to do though!
The boat motif was originally going to be the one I was going to use for the next stage of the project working in dragonframe, but not only was it portrait (animations needed to fit a set frame suitable for screen projection) I didn't feel there was enough movement in it to prove a challenge, Quite liked the tissue paper oil slick though
With the simple 4-frame lion yawning, I was going to recreate with further frames in photoshop - I found breaking it down into key frames and then animating it again with further frames really helped my understanding of how animations should move. Unfortunately, photoshop crashed mid-way through working on this improved lion yawn cycle and I lost all my frames - further reminder to save things as I'm working on them!
