Tumbleweed Bouncing Through?

[Vincent Strader]

Woops sorry. That was a pre-imptive post. I just figured something out. You can import picture files into live type. Applying the different effects to see which one works best now.

Motion has some great behaviors that could do the job better then LiveType in my opinion. Best of luck.

I hate to be a pessimist, but I don’t think you’ll ever find an automated tumbleweed filter or behavior that will come close to the vision that’s playing behind your eyeballs Vinnie. I’d bet bottom dollar that you’re going to end up keyframing it.

Or, you could just leave your computer on tonight when you leave the office and maybe the gremlins will keyframe it for you.

Just a bit of trivial – The classic tumbleweed is actually an import from Russia around 1870. So as a symbol of the wild west it is feral and late.

Like many cliches the fact that it is historically inaccurate in old westerns is on a par with Australian Kookaburra calls being used for Tarzan jungle scenes in Africa.

I know the Kookaburra calls were used a lot in the Ramar of the Jungle TV series.

Are you sure they used them in the Tarzan movies?

“Are you sure they used them in the Tarzan movies? ‘”

Yep. Next time Turner TV is having a Johnny Weissmuller retrospective check it out.

I used to also enjoy the modern Star Trek & Voyager episodes that used Australian bird atmoses whenever they were on a foreign planet (even though the planets tended to look like the same valley that Mash was filmed in)

It made me smile because a few of the atmoses were ones I had recorded in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and then donated to a friend of mine who compiled them into a commercial sound FX library.

“The classic tumbleweed is actually an import from Russia around 1870.”

This would explain why they have this problem with tubleweeds at Kennedy Airport out on the Rockaway Peninsula here in NYC. It’s very close to Brighton Beach, which is the biggest Russian language community in the country.
