Reflection: Though I didn't really have any problems with the photoshop tools, I struggled a lot with creating the individual frames. I wanted to make the rotation of the cigarrette look natural and so I made a lot of frames with very small movements, but because of that, if any of the movements were just a little off the rotation would look really awkward. In the end I cut almost half the frames I made to make the motion smoother. It was too much maintenance to have that many frames on top of all the layers I had.
If I had to choose a tool I could improve in, I would probably choose the magnetic selection tool, or even just the regular selection tool. I didn't really use it that much in this project, but when I did I struggled a lot trying to get the shape of the smoke just right. And it's pretty obvious that the selection tools are really useful and will most likely be in the future, so those are something I'd like to improve in.
This gif is awesome. The idea is so strong! I like how you flipped the cigarette upright and turned it into a "No".
ReplyDeleteI really like how the "no" was written. how did you do that?
