  • How do I? Create a free fallling-drifting photo….

    Posted by Dnelsongb on April 6, 2007 at 2:53 pm

    First off… Thanks for reading this… Second, thanks in advance for responding, you do make a difference!

    I’d like to create a visual presentation that includes the following:
    1. Photo in frame for 5 seconds,
    2. Photo natually and gently fall-drift-float to the ground, getting smaller in perspective and out of focus.
    3. Photos pile up on the floor on top of one another in a somewhat blury pile of pics on the ground.

    Kind of a P.O.V. shot of you the picture viewer, going through a stack of pictures, and letting them drop to the ground one after another.

    Again, thanks for your time and “Eyedeas”

    add three behaviors, gravity, edge collision and wind.
    you’ll have a picture that drops to the floor and bounces.
    add a 3D filter to move it a bit around. when it hits the floor put the ‘x’ ax to almost 90 or -90
    add a bit of shadow
    duplicate this layer and replace the image with the next one.
    fiddle around with the parameters to get the right look and feel.
    hope i helped a bit.
    good luck

    I’m not that experienced at this.. Maybe im not explaining this right. I’ll try again.

    1. Photo fills the frame for 5 or so seconds.
    2. then it falls away from the viewer (not to the bottom of the screen but towards their feet)
    3. The Photo gracefully drifts downwards, falling out of focus
    4. Hitting the ground at the viewers feet as they look down, picture remains there but blurred out.
    5. New photo fills the frame and starts the process over again.

    I HOPE THIS HELPS. IF ANYONE CAN MAKE A TEMPLATE AND SEND IT TO ME THAT MIGHT BE COOL?

    I like it! It’s a great start, but maybe I am expecting too much from motion. After modifying what you sent (thanks again by the way), I just cant seem to squeeze what I want out of it. I am trying to get the photo to fall like a leaf from a tree. Trying to make the photo not look so rigid on its way down, I want to try to make the photo bow a little after its depart from the user, maybe flip in the air like a falling leaf. I dont know… Maybe I am expecting to get something that motion just can deliver or I just cant figure it out.
