20 Layers Final(ly)

Here it is! This edit’s been sitting around twiddling it’s thumbs for ages as I wasn’t happy with it really, but what the heck here it is anyway. Might get around to doing sound for it one day, but I’ve said that before.

Ok, a bit more detail, if you insist. The idea for this one was to create this eerie, writhing object that could be viewed as a whole and that would reveal more detailed levels of animation as you got closer to it. This just didn’t work, whether it was because of the materials I used, the density of the layers and ink or the lighting set up, I’m not too sure. However, I tried to salvage something from the footage so I ended up layering and compiositing it in after effects, with fairly interesting results I guess - I just don’t really like doing that with these zoetropes because I feel it takes something away from the technique. Anyway, next one coming soon…
