OPEN DOOR with Studio 3 - Moving Images

Session 4

We began as usual with a recap in the basement over a cuppa and discussed the progress of the project so far with several interesting new ideas emerging.



                       
Rozi showed an animated composit example using one of John’s landscape drawings, and a drawing of a swan by Philip. We were all pretty impressed with this – not least John & Philip – as it completely transformed their individual artwork into a simple animation of Philip’s swan moving slowly along the river in John’s landscape. For those who wanted, Rozi offered the opportunity to see how to create the animated composit in the computer. She also guided participants through how to prepare the photo in Photoshop, and how to import into After–Effects and complete the work as seen in the example.

Another aspect discussed was recording a voice–over to add to an animation such as Karen’s in which she had written a story for her plasticine characters.


Participants then chose between learning more about the animated composit process or continuing work on their stories, drawings or plasticine models.  




Philip continued by drawing 3 more winter 
creatures, John worked into the landscape
he’d started of Mount St Helen’s, and began
one of Heceta Head Lighthouse, Oregon.


Ian S created a very joyful winter scene,


  Paul enjoyed creating several pastel drawings of varying winter inspired themes.
