Stop motion style

[Paiche59]

Hi all,

Here is a style that produces the stitching of an image with a title using stop motion animation effect. The demonstration video uses the same style with 4 different images.

Style is compatible with PTE version 9.

Thank you for this style. It is very unusual and will come in handy for intros.

Hello Rosemary,

Thank you for your comment. Indeed, this style was designed with the idea of being used for an intro.

Très originale, mais quel travail, MERCI.

I came across this style and it is fascinating.  I am still pretty much a novice with this program and enjoy using styles for my travelogue shows I create but have never really created a style (but maybe tweaked those I found).  But this particular one seems exceptionally complex and I cannot even figure out the logic to creating it.  Do you happen to have a description of the basic steps used to create this written in a "for dummies" manner?

Thanks,

Doug

Hello Doug,

Here are some explanations that I hope will be enough to understand the principles of the animation effect. The composition is indeed quite complex and requires a lot of patience to understand it (and eventually modify it).

First of all, the image is cut into 36 pieces. Each piece of the image is contained in a rectangular mask to which a small rotation is applied (this rotation gives a slightly disordered effect to the final assembly). The whole of this mask is itself integrated into another mask to produce a shadow effect (the colour of the shadow can be adjusted with the Shadow color rectangle object).

The jerky effects are applied to each of the masks embedding a piece of the image (Piece mask n). These jerky movements are obtained by successive positioning of the image piece. They are parameterised in a series of key frames (pan x, y and rotation). These jerky movements are contrary to the fluidity generally sought for projections. To obtain this fast movement effect, I pushed the speed sliders to the maximum and doubled this animation effect.

 

Best regards,

Pascal.

Thanks--I understood bits of this and suspect I need to learn more about masks and movements.  Nevertheless quite an incredible style that is very suitable to introducing a show/presentation.

Very good
