Strange forms from chaotic trajectories [animation experiments] by Sam Reeve

Stop motion experiment #1

samxreeve — 2024-04-24 12:50:40 UTC

Extracting the objects from the juggler by tracing individual frames.

Stop motion experiment #2

samxreeve — 2024-04-24 12:51:52 UTC

Continuing to extract the objects from the juggling but this time with a sequence of changing throws, rather than a repeating pattern.

rotoscope test #1

samxreeve — 2024-04-24 13:03:04 UTC

the first attempt at tracing one balls path with a line.

multi-level box pattern

multi-level box pattern frame overlap

samxreeve — 2024-04-24 13:14:06 UTC

A threshold layer blocks out everything but the whites of the balls (and a bit of my face and hands) the video is exported as individual frames and then re-animated so each frame remains of the screen.

frame overlap experiments #1

samxreeve — 2024-04-24 13:16:18 UTC

more experiments with frame overlapping, these ones all stop as an interesting shape begins to appear

a frame overlap without the threshold
