Card Dance Plug-in
Hey guys!
Yesterday, I downloaded the very popular plug-in “Card Dance” here and everything seemed to be perfect untill I went to take a look at Ayato’s Card Dance tutorial. Oh…by the way…as you well know, Ayato rules.
So, I started by installing “Andrea Mosaic” and played with it for a while and did stunning mosaics in seconds. Okay, now that I was able to create those beautiful pictures kind of thing (mosaics), I wanted to do something like Ayato’s Final Render Movie of the Card Dance Tutorial (link above). So okay..did my mosaic, Fractal Noise blablabla…
Now, when I started to play with the Card Dance Plug-In, I suddendly noticed that Ayato didn’t explain how to keyframe all those little squares in middle-air to the point where they all match together (ressemble) to form the final big mosaic (see his Final Render movie). What I am suppose to do? Keyframe the Multiplier? The Offset? Arggh, and what exactly does those terms means?! I’m french, like you all know.
This seems like a noob question, am I right?!
Thx guys, really appreciate.

Yes that’s it. Create keyframes at the default values. Then move them ahead in time on the timeline as they will be used for the end of the sequence. Then move the timeline indicator back to the start and mess about with the aforesaid parameters.
You may also want to mess about with the camera parameters in Card Dance.

after reading this thread, I did some test with Andrea Mosaic and the Card Dance Plugin. They are just amazing.
But I have one problem.
I am trying to apply the same effects on a video footage. So instead of individual mosaic flying in and forms a static image of the face, I want to replace it with a video footage of the face smiling or winking or laughting….
anyone can solve this??

Without actually trying it out:
If the Mosaic software doesn’t import and export movies for this purpose, you could always take your movie, export as an image sequence from AE, and manually feed the Mosaic software with the individual frames.
For each frame you create a mosaic, which you then import as an image sequence.
A bit of manual work, but it should work.

I have tried this out,
but what andrea mosaic did is take random image to tile it on ur image seq
so for every frame of your image seq u get a diff photo tiling -
Well… that’s sort of how it works… doesn’t it?
How did you expect it to work?
