Other guys come to the task with video motion picture cameras.<BR/><BR/>What makes this remarkable is how the still shots were used to create an authentic animated sequence. <BR/><BR/>What's especially cool about it is that we have the technology at our fingertips to do the animation in a rather sophisticated fashion.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm awed by this because once upon a time, long ago, when I was a schoolkid, I spent more class time than I should have playing with animation in a very crude way. <BR/><BR/>The trick was to take a pad of paper and on one edge of each sheet draw a little stick figure, each one slightly different and slightly offset from the one before. By flipping the pages quickly it was possible to see the stick figure "walk" across the page.<BR/><BR/>Being able to do that with real photos, as Victor did, just seems awesome to me.<BR/><BR/>Dick BoltonDick Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287542034684818220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654247.post-1160754640590389902006-10-13T11:50:00.000-04:002006-10-13T11:50:00.000-04:00Could you explain the benefits of stills taken in ...Could you explain the benefits of stills taken in sequence vs. video?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
