Project 3: DSDN142 Final animation

Here is my final animation of my interpretation on "the little lost boy" , a poem by William Blake. I interpreted the poem as an abstract world with a reality of fear and imagery that would closely associate with a child's imagination of fear in darkness. This is shown firstly through a pair of ghosts travelling through with a set of "spooky hands" animated to slide across the page horizontally both moving towards the boy. The imagery is emphasised as it progresses on the screen starts to flicker between both images.

In the process I have drawn the ghosts from scratch, taken them into illustrator and then turned them into svgs. This process didn't work to my advantage so I then saved them as jpeg to load as a PImage. I also decided because of the lack of my art skills to create my background using Adobe illustrator.

CODE: "ghosts"

int numFrames = 6; int frame = 0; PImage[] images = new PImage[numFrames]; PImage bg; int b; int m = 0; int x = 0; int y = 1000; float s = 0; int offset;

//PImage img;//spooky hands************************** //float ofset = 0; //float easing = 0.05;

void setup() { size(1280, 720); frameRate(25); bg = loadImage("background.jpg"); // img = loadImage("spookyhands.jpg");

images[0] = loadImage("0000.png"); images[1] = loadImage("0001.png"); images[2] = loadImage("0002.png"); images[3] = loadImage("0003.png"); images[4] = loadImage("0004.png"); images[5] = loadImage("0005.png"); } void draw() { background(bg);//background img

fill(255, 10);//GHOSTS******************************** rect(0, 0, width, height); imageMode(CENTER); scale(s); frame = (frame+1) % numFrames; offset = 0; image(images[(frame+offset) % numFrames], x, height/2 + 100, 500, 500); scale(1); offset = 5; image(images[(frame+offset) % numFrames], y, height/2 + 150, 500, 500); y-=1; x+= 5; s+= 0.01;

// image(img, ofset, 350); // image(img, -640, 360); // float dx = (2*img.width/2) - offset; // ofset += dx * easing;

saveFrame("movie-#####.jpg"); //Save animation as an image sequence. }

I have also screen shot my final code at development stage earlier under "ghost" and "ghost1" in case of any mix up.

CODE: "spookyhands"

PImage bg; PImage img; float offset = 0; float easing = 0.05;

void setup() { background(0); size(1280, 720); img = loadImage("spookyhands.jpg"); bg =loadImage("background.jpg"); }

void draw() { background(bg); tint(255); image(img, offset, 0); image(img, -640, 360); float dx = (2*img.width/2) - offset; offset += dx * easing; saveFrame("movie-#####.jpg");

}

editing to combine both elements in a flicker style that will hopefully do justice in my animation along with last minute touch-ups.

Pages used for final animation. After spending the whole day trying to learn how to get by on Premiere pro cc without any knowledge of it I finally managed to setup bits and pieces. Thank you Youtube and Google, you are a life saver.

Final short clip animation

Created using vectors in illustrator for my short movie clip. visual Idea is to animate the hands so they move across the screen horizontally.

My sketch taken into illustrator>image trace.

Turned out pretty scary, thinking about trying to animate it in a way that enhances it.

Background Image

#142

Process: Drawing fail.

After trying to draw a person crouching down and failing a number of times I have decided to make my person very abstract rather than detailed. Because of this I thought the overall background image should look real media-life styled. using shapes and colour to portraydifferent elements in the image.

These images have inspired me to continue my animation making it as scary or spooky as possible
