Day 8 – Epic as

01.29.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

I knew what I was going to do today. I had recently seen a tutorial by ECAbrams (definitely check out his tutorials) that bound lines to track points in moving footage and used this as a text reveal. I have always wanted to pull off this effect and so I dove in very excitedly. I’ll admit, I gave the tutorial another squizz before searching for my footage (again found on Pixabay) and opening the comp. I also excluded the time 3D Camera was analysing and mapping the footage, which is fair, I was just sitting there waiting and it took precious minutes. In the tutorial Abrams used Plexus, which I have not made the leap to purchase, I opted for using Beam effect to build the lines and a couple expressions to anchor each end.

The results…

Day 7 – Endless Summer

01.28.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

So today, as sit in my delightful office, overlooking my delightful pool with a gorgeous tropical garden surrounding it, I am reminded of two things. Firstly, how lucky I am to live in Australia, and secondly, I am reminded of a day a couple weeks ago. My husband and I were having an afternoon swim, beer in hand, and I started reading the can. Great Northern is a local beer, it might not be brewed here anymore but it is the North Queensland beer, and part of the can referred to Tropical North of Australia as having an “endless summer” and I loved it. It was one of the deciding factors to move here.

And so to celebrate the “endless summer” and tropical fruit of North Queensland I gathered all the creative commons images of fruit I could find, spent probably 30 mins prepping the images in Photoshop (that’s allowed, check the rules) and 15 mins revealing those wonderful, warm words. That is today’s #15minmograph.

Day 5 – Awkward Dance

01.26.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

We’ve all been there the painfully common sidewalk waltz, the get-past-polka, the awkward dance.

Today’s #15minmograph plays with just that. The anticipation, poor timing and relief of exit as one “partner” round the other and they return on their way. Since completing animation bootcamp, I have found anticipation and overshoot to really help with giving character to even the simplest of characters. That was my goal today, take something painfully human and make it seem even remotely believable in squares.

Tada…
