I See Faces; Creating the woods


On monday I created a small print of trees and a moon. It was really lovely and immediately I knew I wanted to turn it into a gif. 

I traced over my print to get it onto the storyboard to piece together a very basic idea of how it would work. Once I got my head around it I then scanned in the actual print. 




I brought in the full print but after a while of playing around I decided I just wanted to take the square (although I really loved the emerald around it) just for convenience. 




After I pulled the square I then started editing onto the square, using the layers to show me the previous and to slowly create the frames. 

I changed different things as I went along, I struggled with the way the trees blew for quite a while. It was hard to make them look like they weren't shrivelling. I also had the problem of the clouds looping. After I had sorted through these I created a GIF i was proud of. 



I think the final turned out quite well, I liked how the mono print made it look more hand drawn as I am not too fond of the digital look.
