I am in SENNEN.
It is so beautiful I am surprised mine EYES have not popped out of my skull from all the looking.
This is what I see from my windows. It is HEAVEN.

i love the window effect on that - that's exactly what i love about storms, when you're indoors and simultaneously feel in total awe at nature's power but also so warm and cosy.
also i only just saw the hayward gallery one upthread! lol, fantastic.

Indoors, with a good strong double-glazed window (window seat optional, but I has one) and a roaring fire (I has one of those two but I can't be arsed to make it go) is just about the best thing in the entire world.
Hmmm. This fire looks like a gas powered one but I can't find the off switch. If I have to go and fetch wood and kindling... LOL rustics.

Please be kind, this is my very first attempt at animating anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG5S9LGGnlM
God, it just takes forever. The song is like 4 minutes long, but it took me over a month to animate a single minute. (OK, I had many interruptions in terms of holiday, new job, etc. but still.)
It's v v rudimentary. There's a ton of more stuff I'd have liked to have added (I'd have loved for the trees in the background to move as if in the wind) but it was just too damn fiddly. I think you need a lot more patience to do animation than I've got.

this is all digital I assume...? you wanna talk slow, I've recently embarked on a stop-motion animation project ayiyiyi
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
At my current work rate doing the rest of the storyboard would take about 2 years. Which is sad coz I liked the story line.
I started it the old fashioned way, with tracing paper and ink! (the bit where the curtains blow open is hand drawn) which was actually quicker than digital but scanning it and digitising was just completely infuriating.
I can't imagine how long stop motion would take!
― They have fangs, They have teeth! (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
yeah we've been working out the technical kinks for months, I think we have like 30 seconds of test material lol
here's the first thing I've finished in awhile

― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
Mayan synths! I love it!
If I'd done the animation properly (I put an image every 3 frames instead of every frame) I'd only have had 30 seconds. But I reckoned the jerkiness looked alright as it was in time with the music.
Is yr stop motion thing a music video? You might try that to stretch it out.
― They have fangs, They have teeth! (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Monday, 21 May 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I'm working with one of the other band members who's a film editor/animator, we have a dope sheet and everything. turns out I just have really complicated ideas tho lol. at this rate we will be done in 10 years
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
what animation app did you use...?
I feel really dumb now coz I didn't even know what a dope sheet was before I read that. I suppose because I'm drawing it all out rather than shooting it, I don't need to worry about camera angles and things. That sounds so complicated. Your drawings are so detailed I would love to see your animations, but I can imagine it would take forever.
I used freeware called Pencil, which I don't recommend. It's crashy as hell, it won't seem to load more than 15 seconds of animations at a time, it likes to lose layers and move things about without asking you. I ended up doing all the actual coding in TextEdit and just using it as a compiler. I then had to chuck all these 10 second blips into iMovie and add the soundtrack, and iMovie just destroys the quality - it was originally done in HD, but you can't tell that by what iMovie export. I don't think I'd do another project in Pencil, I'd like to find something more reliable. If I ever did anything again, which I'm not sure I would.
Then again, maybe I should be less ambitious and do 10 second blips that are just animations of regular drawings.

ugh that sounds pretty irritating :(
stop-motion's gonna be a lot of collaged elements for the most part, but there are some things (people/characters, primarily) that I'm going to need to draw and figure out how to animate, we'll see.
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
hey beautiful art-making ilxors, i am no pixar, but if you need custom software for labor-saving on the animation, please say what would be handy, and maybe i can throw something together?
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 21 May 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
Oh! I did not see your kind offer. Basically, I don't need software, I need an army of about 300 poorly paid Korean animators, or the approximation thereof.
Anyway, here is an SEA ARCH. I'm sure you know how happy SEA ARCHES make me, there was a whole thread about it once.

― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Saturday, 1 September 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
No, they're just granite that's been really really eaten away by wind/wave action. That's near Lands End, which is sticking right out into the Atlantic with nothing to take the blow, so the granite ends up getting carved into these really strange shapes that look like odd pillars.

Basically, I can't stop reading Fuck Yeah Fluid Dynamics and learning all about the crazy psychedelic swirling patterns generated by, like, Karman Vortex Streets and stuff.
(I made a little mistake in the physics at the bottom of the flow but I'm just going to have to live with that.)

The Karman Vortex Street is the pattern of oscillating turbulence formed by a flow of wind or fluid over a stable object.
