(Moving?) Photo's on a pretty pretty blog

sNarah

I don't often share photoblogs I come across but this one certainly impressed me SO much! It also makes we wonder - how do you do that, making the image move like that? And, do you like it or not?

I'm rather fond of it - I think it works well here! I've seen the silly moving Gifs etc before but somehow find it very well executed in photography here... !

Oh yeah some of them are lovely and the girls used in the shots are stunning.

Twitter tells me it's to do with animated .gifs or Adobe After Effects... but no, I don't, would like to be able to do it though!!

Its animation in photoshop.. I'm am 90% sure

Several frames in one.. I have to say its pretty cool.

Tallon

CS5 actually makes it much easier to do again with the new animation tool

It's just layers essentially

sNarah

Tal!!! What is this language you speak!

So, do I need a photograph and/or movie stills or what!?

:Layers: tssssss

Layers are literally what they sound like. When you open an image in Photoshop you can have multiple images/layers above/below the original image. By manipulating these you can achieve powerful things.

Tallon

Multiple photographs in sequence (I.E. Sport shooting mode) or movie stills

You create a new layer for each frame and layer-cut the part you need, leaving the original (stationary) picture static at all times...

Hard to explain, but I'll show you sometime

Effects

It's handy enough in photoshop and the help will tell you all you need to know.
There's some way of animating jpegs now too, something to do with a modified header script or something.

Kintarō Hattori

If you're around the Briggan at the weekend I'll give you a quick spin with layers if you want.

Animated gifs, here's the URL for the subway one ...

Very nicely done.

You can embed them into boards posts as well

And we've hit a sad sad day here on the photography forum when Daire Quinlan has been reduced to posting an animated gif. :eek:

Ghost Train

you can also make them online by uploading sequence of images to animate, but options will be more limited

aha! i assumed it was done the harder way.

Ah, animated gifs (pronounced with a J-sound ...). Those were the days. Here's the first one we did back in the early 90's. It was very clever then -



A few years ago used Easy Gif Animator. Now, I'd just use PS - if I had a need.
