  Animating a mosaic

  Posted by Ed Tilsley on August 27, 2013 at 4:34 pm

  Hi.. I’ve used Andreamosaic to make a large mosaic image from a few hundred pictures. It’s great, really happy with the result.

  My next challenge is… I’d like to animate this building up, in AE.

  I’ve used Particulate a few times but not like this.

  As I see it, my 2 unkowns are:

  1. how to chop up the mosaic back into bits without it taking 2 days, and
  2. how to re-create the final result, over time

  Any thoughts guys?

  A couple scripts will make this work easier:

  That first script is great.
  Now I’ve got a null object with a LOT of sliced images attached. What’s the smartest way to scatter them around ?
  Thanks !
