Final Haiku Animation

The final video of my Haiku motifs. After a talk with Jamie, it was decided overall the video needed to be longer and the text had to be integrated better. In each transition the text pops in quickly, whereas in the last version the text pan in somewhat slowly. Slow enough to be a distraction from the motifs. All of the transition ideas were kept, but they were greatly improved.

For the first attempt at the animation, in the rain motif the windy rain was panned in as it rotated. I stopped the rotating when the text appeared to showcase the motif in a way and then panned the rain off the screen as it rotated again. The change for my final video was to keep the windy rain rotating the entire time it was on screen.

For the umbrella the motion tween was a little shake. This was cleaned up and I added this little flutter for the umbrella to descend on the screen. It slows down as it is being blown around the screen and floats toward the bottom of the screen before being swept away again.

The walking motif used the same idea with the legs walking and making the footprints, but instead of viewing it all on screen and at the motif size, I zoomed in on the foot prints and panned the camera along as the legs made each foot step. Finally, a little weeble wobble was added to the legs to further support the "tries" to walk backward.
