HW6 - Stop-Motion Animation of Falling
For this animation I used some steel wire to suspend the empty bottle of gesso. I discovered that using the wire was particularly difficult because of the weight of the bottle (even though it is empty). I thought about photoshopping the wire out of the frames, but then would it make it that much different than just photoshopping the bottle into the scene? Would that be considered cheating? Hmm...

Photoshopping out the wires is what is done in compositing; if the image element to be removed isn't easily "green screened" then roto-painters take it out by hand on each frame.
ReplyDeleteThe drop and the initial part of the bounce look OK but the extra floundering about that the bottle performs is not believable. Having a simpler settle, say rolling to a stop, would have been more convincing.
