Made a reel for Instagram last night inspired by one I saw.
Not much to say about this one but I did push some boundaries – namely – I created a false handheld camera shake by making more art than necessary and screen recording a short two frame animation of me zooming in on it as if I was holding a camera.
I did this with both shots to mimic the original and I’m pretty happy with it! It really gives the impression that Mitzi is holding the phone and the camera is changing from back view to front view.
The shots changing expression while keeping the camera shake was a stroke of genius and problem solving on my part. By exporting the frames, creating a new animation, looping it and THEN screen recording, I kept the action smooth in one shot. Anyhoo.
