Jens added some nice type animation and camera movement. Have a look:
Music taken from
part I: The Chariot – Oversea
part II: Emily Wells – Mr. Washington
Mesh up animation project - Part I
I was in the mood of creating a free short animation. Crawling through my music library I picked some tracks I liked and picked only a few seconds of each track. Put them together in the After Effects timeline and started animating what came to my mind.
The idea of a shared project came to my mind. I will hand this one over to the motionpanda – he will animate the next few seconds and pass it to someone else. The aim is to add at least one part per week. Let’s see where this will get us.
This can be considered a tribute to the 5 second project of the well known greyscalegorilla. I really like his way of making cool shit and getting people to do the same through sharing his thoughts.
What’s on Your Screen?
From time to time I come across something surprisingly beautiful or interesting during the process of creating. I press cmd+shift+4 on my keyboard and take a screenshot. Some days ago I stumbled upon the folder on my computer where all these shots are saved. Here’s a little selection…
It feels a bit like scrolling through a forgotten sketchbook found on the attic… or reading in an old diary. There’s so many ideas and sketches that get filtered in the daily business but still are worth keeping. With the help of my screenshot folder I was able to recover some of them.
Do You have such a folder to save Your screenshots? OSX Lion usually saves the screenshots on the desktop. When I was still working on Leopard/Snowleopard I had a special ‘screenshots’ folder. Back then I used a helpful program called xMod to change the standard .png setting to .jpg and set the output directory to the folder I created. I don’t know such a tool on OSX Lion, yet. Suggestions anyone? How do You guys keep Your screenshots organized? (Feel free to answer in Your native language.)
