I just wanted to mention that real progress is being made with the VOP. See the latest commits in the develop branch.
It’ll be merged with Main once I make sure all the features that are in Main has gotten ported to the develop branch. It’s slow but steady… unpayed… work.
Did you survive my move to an updated wordpress getup? No? Well. You wanna hear about something worse? No? Well, joke’s on you then. Because, if you look up in the menu of my website. You can find a link to my first ever public Codeberg Repo. The VOP. It’s a big project. Not sure how I’ll get it done. But it’s there at least. I just figured I’d make it public. I can make it comprehensible later.
Testing even moar
Testing these notes some more.
So this here is the notes function of indieweb on wordpress, ey?
I do wonder how this will look aorund other parts of the site.
Holy Moly! It's been half a year since the last post? Man. I need to get back into this gambit.
Well. Here's a quickie test. It's basically another Itano Circus. But it's done in a bit more unusual way.
I first filmed the background, using my GH4 in 1080p 2 fps video mode. – (In variable framerate mode it actually only records in the framerate that you set it to. It saves it as a standard 24 fps file for playback but the framerate difference can make either super-speedy footage (if recorded with framerate slower than the playback) or slow motion (if recorded with a faster framerate than the playback). And that works great for my experiment as I want it suuuper speedy in this case. 2 fps recording makes it 12 times faster. Playing that back at 8fps makes it… uhhh… ok, I don't know, but it looked like I wanted it to at least!)
Then I took it into after effects.
Time-reversed it (I walked forward during filming to be able to get footage that was traveling backwards without risking tripping over stuff in my messy apartment).
Then. I exported that as a png-sequence (I found a great youtube channel btw that mentions importing video into flash as png-sequences)
And then using that as the background, I drew the whole circus thingy in flash in 8 fps… sorry, Adobe Animate.
Then I exported it (the animation layers, that is) as a png sequence again and…
imported it to After Effects, layered it back on top of the original footage interpreted as 8 fps and finally exported it.
Kind of worked out better than expected in my opinion. I may be using this method more in ongoing projects… because I still suck at drawing backgrounds… 🙂
Anyways…
Be seeing you!
