Cinemagraph - The Great Mysteryby *MisterAibo

Digital Art / Animation

"Are you sure? We've never done a colored image yet. The technology is a bit... wonky."
"I'm sure. And could you frame it?"
"Of course. It was your first big hit, after all. You made the front page if I remember correctly."
"Yeah. It's not every day that somepony steals a statue."

--- Commissioner

A commission for *sherilyn-holmes of Mystery Gift and ~Bianca-ink-cartoon's Ink Cartoon.
Apparently, the two are super bast friends forever and all that jazz.

--- Technical

Five iterations, animated since the second. Background from S02E01, obviously. The animation grew more and more complex throughout the process. Added the flags in the third iteration. Used spline calcMode in the fifth to make the movement feel more dynamic.

This image was also created as an experiment into full-color GIF animations. I think it turned out rather well, although I had to reduce the number of gradients to a minimum. Still, there are no gaping errors.

SVG is validated, but only partially commented. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Time taken: ~10 hours

--- Premium download

The original SVG is downloadable in two ways - via sta.sh or as a premium download.
If you like this enough, feel free to purchase the digital copy for points. It helps me a LOT. If you just want to see the animation and its works, download it from sta.sh. Your choice, really.

Looks good.

*mortalshinobi Aug 11, 2012

woa. nice animation here.

*MisterAibo Aug 11, 2012

Thanks.

*mortalshinobi Aug 12, 2012

welcome.

=RecklessKaiser Aug 11, 2012

You're truly improving with your animations, did you know that?

Because this one came out pretty good, very nicely done, dude!

*MisterAibo Aug 11, 2012

Yeah, thanks.
It's just the question of when I get too bored to try, I guess. Plus the whole 256 colour palette is really painful to deal with, especially with lighting and other gradients.

=RecklessKaiser Aug 11, 2012

No problem!

And yeah, I can imagine that, the same happens to me when I make some gifts.

But you did a nice job anyway, you're getting the hang of it.

Amazing!

*MisterAibo Aug 11, 2012

Thank you.

I know you're probably tired of reading me say this, but this looks just perfect. I can't express in words how much I love this. I wish moving pictures were real so I could hang it on my wall.
