A Tree In Progress



This is my homemade tree, drawn with Illustrator. When I ended it, I saved two copies of it and I started erasing the brushes on one of them. Every fifteen or twenty erasures I saved a new image, untill I had seventy images and the whole process of the drawing. Then I composed a video with a movie maker program, in which every drawing is converted in a 0,3 seconds photogram.

It is something surprisingly easy to do at home with an average computer, the only important thing being to organize well the images, although I learned to make this sort of videos in a trial and error process. So far I've made about four animations, two of them as personalized gifts to a child. Sometimes they are a bit laborious but always fun!

I must be a 65-year-old child, Josep, because I just loved this! I've been playing with it for about five minutes. What fun. I can't believe you painted it yourself. Of course, I have not artistic talent whatsoever! Make some more!!

I will, Carmen, thank you so much! These animations are useful when your drawings are not a blast, like mine, because they become fun. As soon as I can I'll try and tell a little animated story, and I hope it will last more than 8 seconds! :)

I love this tree..... it brings me great joy.... brings out the child in me that wants to play. That is an excellent feeling. Thank you for that gift. I am new to your site. I look forward to many more adventures.

I really love this. The still image is lovely itself but to see it in motion is just incredible. Very nicely done
