Here is my final animation, after additional feedback i was introduced to the effect 'Wigglerama' in which i could incorporate into the motion of the individual 'Idea Balls' as they travel, in order to give them a sense of sync with the erratic and static sounds of the track itself. This small tweeking/ editing of my animation i feel has worked to a highly effective degree as it allows me to create tension by manipulating the 'Wiggle' speed. Thus is crucial as there is a large proportion of segments in the song where tension is suddenly risen and fallen.
I've incorporated more camera movements through rotation and zoom, effectively giving the animation more edge that the track oozes from it's sound. This by which i feel gives the track more justice, through these changes in my emotional/ visual interoperation. This therefore concludes my final print to pixel animation.
Upon feedback of my animation below, there was good reviews, yet there was a lack of dynamic angles as the animation consisted of few points of view, so as you can see i've incorporated more camera movements through rotation and zoom, effectively giving the animation more edge that the track oozes from it's sound. This by which i feel gives the track more justice, through these changes in my emotional/ visual interoperation.
Here is my final animation for the Print to Pixel Project, portraying my emotional response to the track Grantz Graf. As you can see, the two heads with ideas in their brain's (conveyed by the individual 'Circles' as individual 'Ideas') slowly come together, causing the ideas in the head to rush into the space where the two heads 'Interact' and create a 'Static'/ 'Fizzing' effect. This effect is the concentration point for the animation so the camera zooms in a twisting motion to the concentrated space to a point where you can see the individual ideas rushing around and then later crashing and deflecting ideas against each other in a chaotic way that will be in sync with the music/ track, to the point a which one big idea hits the other. This by which causes a 'Static' and 'Powerful' emitting of energy (i.e. a 'Spark'/ 'Idea') that builds up into one huge burst of energy (i.e. The big 'Innovative Idea'). This by which then expands, causing the camera to zoom out as the two heads separate leaving the big idea in the middle of the two designers for them to see in front of them.
As you can see from this screen shot, i have integrated layers and effects, effectively managing my time along the timeline, in order to establish my intended effects. This is particularly evident as i integrate 'Bang' layers to be visualised in a short period of time as the ideas collide, conveying the effect of impact.
As my animation consists of small 'Bangs' as the ideas collide, here i have created a psd file utilising my Bamboo Dock where i have created an illustrative image that will be utilised in my animation as the ideas collide with each other, in order to emphasise the 'Spark'/ 'Static effect' that i intend to portray in animation in a emotional response to my music track.
Utilising my 'Bamboo Dock', i have hand drawn utilising the pan tool combined with the brush tool a composition in which appears to be 'Static Forks', in which helps me to visually interpret the 'Static' element/ theme that my emotional response involves as i listen to the track.
As you can see, i integrate this psd file into the animation and integrate the static psd into the composition.
Using the 'Puppet Pin Tool' i manipulate the 'Static Forks' so there will be a rapid animated 'Static/ Fizz' effect as the original 'Static Forks Layer' will be placed against the 'Puppet Pin Layer' next to each other at 0.1 second intervals, in order to create the 'Static' effect i intend to create.
Utilising my Bamboo Dock, i can use the bamboo pen to hand 'Erase' this found image from 'Google' into my intended patterns, thus creating the 'Static Interference' that i intend to create and become out of control as the track reaches it's climaxed state. From the first 'Static Interference' to the last consists of the order in which they will be visualised in a rapid way as the track begins to climax and the '4 Ideas' collides into one main idea.
As you can see, i integrate this psd file into the animation and integrate the static interference psd into the composition.
