Hi everyone, here is my first entry to the "Art Explosion Week" contest, an iniciative by @juliakponsford. This is the week 23 of the contest and the theme is "Conspiracy".
I wanted to make an animated gif and work with the idea of "eternal loop" that this kind of image format suggest.
I used a classic symbol of conspiranoid imaginery in a context of extreme surveillance trhough panopticum systems that dominates the world today.
First of all I´ve made a very fast and simple storyboard to litterally put the ideas in the table:
Utilicé un símbolo característico de lo que sería el imaginario conspiranoico y lo coloqué en el contexto de los sistemas panópticos y de vigiliancia que dominan el mundo en la actualidad.
Antes de todo, hice un storyboard sencillo para, literalmente, poner las ideas en la mesa.
This allowed me to start drawing the frames in vectors and using the rotoscopy method in Illustrator, doing some little modifications:
Then I started to make the animation with After Effects, using the frame to frame method combinated with camera and layers movements that this software allows me to do:
Finally I´ve exported the animation in a quicktime video format and made the compress in .mp4 to obtain a lower size file.
This mp4 was converted to a .gif using an online gif maker.
That´s all.
Hope you like my work!
Post bilingüe pues... me sorprendo de mí mismo.
