Animated Icon - Just an Object
Sunday, August 20, 2006

Last one today - One of my favourite images from the Big Damn Series. I'm particularly proud of this one, as it involved carefully dimming one image while carefully enhancing another on the same frame, frame by frame. Since they both had to be more or less the same size and they overlap a lot of Chinese swearing went into the making of this one! And the result is... well, pretty ordinary looking actually but I'm still very proud :) 100x150pix 101kb. As with all my animations, this was created using Serif Draw Plus 5.

Very nicely done! I apreciate the talent. That can't have been very easy.

Do you just make these one frame at a time?

Stealing is fine, as long as I'm credited! :)

Yep, I made it one frame at a time. Has to be done that way, at least when using the program I use. There's no talent to it really, just a lot of patience and fiddling about. This one was only awkward because I had to keep track of how much I'd dimmed two seperate panels in each frame, which were both on opposite ends of the scale. I've dealt with two panels before - I almost always use an image and a caption - but since I fade them both to black before brightening up another two it's a lot easier to keep track of. Dimming one while brightening another makes it very easy to mix things up.

Now that it's done I wish I'd placed the planet just a little bit higher so it would overlap the ball. Typical!

I think everyone can appreciate the work put into something simple :) I like this one alot (not that there's much that you make that I don't like). I love the recent River animations, I think she is one of the main draws to new fans because of her mysteriousness.
