Animation also shows us the hugeness and tininess of things. The film Powers of Ten* takes us on a journey between the subatomic and cosmic. Koyaanisqatsi turns fast-motion commuters into a tiny ants. The slow-motion building demolitions show the incredible complexity that can take place in a short moment in time.
Animation can be defined as the rapid display of a sequence of images to create an illusion of movement. This is used even in film such as in Koyaanisqatsi * where the repetitive motion of people and cars flowing through space builds a hypnotic awareness that prepares us to see any new detail or change. *by Godfrey Reggio and Ron Fricke
Previs Demo ReelLarge-scale jumbotron-size animation for product launch at cell biology conference. Because of the sheer size of this piece, any sleight-of-hand animation tricks like cross-dissolves would be immediately seen. I created vector-based particle animations using ActionScript and Flash libraries.
