Hey everyone,
My name is Adrienne Weishaar and I would like to share with you the work I have created with Pd extended.
My first piece is the Geometric Abstraction. I used circles, squares, and triangles with different colors, scales, rotations and translations to give them the different effects. With metros and bangs I was able to click one centralized bang that started the animation of these simple geometric shapes. Here is my final piece.
My second piece is an Underwater Animation. This was a more challenging design for me but I am very satisfied with my final piece. For this project I downloaded the underwater scenery from a Google image. Using Photoshop I created the animations of shark swimming across the screen, a jelly fish swimming upwards, and a submarine peaking up from deep in the ocean. After I rendered each animation, I downloaded them into Pd Extended and added triggers to the animations. During the video of my final animation, you will be able to locate the trigger locations. All triggers are simple rollovers. Enjoy!
Hey! You’re 2nd YouTube video is set to private. That was sad, it looked really cool, I would have liked to have seen it 🙂
Hey again! I’m really glad you changed the privacy of your video, so that I got a chance to see it 🙂 Anyway I think the scenery you chose is very interesting. I like the concept a lot of an “underwater animation” idea. Right away your background scenery struck me as familiar. It strikingly resembles much of the scenery from the Disney film “The Little Mermaid.” Specifically the pink coral/sea anemones looks very “little mermaid”. Cool piece!
I agree with mcoryea14, when she says the scene is reminiscent of “The Little Mermaid.” The shark also reminds me of “Finding Nemo” when the sharks go ‘fish are friends, not food.’
The abstract geometry animation reminds me of the universe globes with the spinning circles on different axis, or an atom. The abstraction is very cool and mesmerizing, I like it.
