Assignment 2: Animation Basics

Using one of the three panels that we created for our Triptych Montage, this next assignment asks us to animate the photomontage and really make it come to life.

Using Adobe Photoshop, I cleared the canvas and brought in each element one at a time to create a narrative. We descend down into a familiar world, or at least a dream world in a far off paradise. Then step by step, chaos reveals itself.

In a way, by having animation tools, I was able to combine all three of my panels from my triptych montage into a single frame. The sky turns ominous, the ocean evaporates away, the people run to the beach, and we are left wondering why something like this might happen. Maybe it wouldn't. But at least the final result would make Michael Bay proud, don't you think? :)
