Ancient Animation Festival

This animation is made from pictures that I took of Gabriel and Isaaiah playing in a cardboard airplane that I made...as you can see they have a map...and Isaaiah has a bike pump which she is using to make mid-air repairs...with her safety helmet on of course. I used Paint Shop Pro to erase the background of the original photo of them playing in the house...then I created my background..and I moved the digital photo with the erased background slowly across...the background...saving the photos as I went.

These animations are posted in honor of friend Bryce Hanson....I love making these animations. These are made with Paint Shop Pro 7 animation. I searched for free animation software...and I think there are some..I just didn't finish my search.


So here is another animation I made after the airplane was painted and on this day beloved friend Trinity came to play..so all of the kids went for a flight together over Union Station.



So you know that after you upload a gif to photobucket...that you must complete the end tag....it should make you feel like an html geek anyway...

Here is another animation I made...Chess is the subject...I saw a chess animation loop that inspired me to improve the concept by having the queen and the knight playing an animation loop. I drew this picture, put it in Paint Shop Pro...and erased and redrew parts of the picture digitally...saving it as I went. Then used the animation wizard to produce the GIF



Here is an early animation created and produced by Gabriel in 2004...so he was 6. I had met my husband Mark, and was sharing the animation concept with all of the kids to their amazement...so I'll be finding more kid examples of animation...polish sausage...

(never miss a chance to say "polish sausage")




This is an oil pastel painting that has been digitally altered and changed photo by photo...it was a valentine's animation..


There are many more animations that I made, but this one is the most complex digitally....Using Paint Shop Pro...I used many layers to change the texture and color slowly of this pink lady (I took the photo at Last Thursday on Alberta)...the little metal creatures are something that I created from a digital photo,...turning it metallic and taking the photo apart so that I could make the legs move on each little one, and change its size...in each frame. I'll post the frames in a slideshow eventually.
