staying up late

You know, there was this one animation I had saved under the IDD folder I had in my IE, that I had really wanted to blog about. It was one called Typo Lennon, and I had absolutely no idea how it had been created at the time. Now that I have 3 animations under my belt, I think I have a little better idea as to how it was done. Actionscript. Maybe someday I'll figure that out. But what is important about this animation to me, is that it was the impetus behind my "Water Cycle" animation, in which I used nothing but text to animate my subject. This does something like that on a much grander scale.
Two Colors
Pink
White
The text in white, never fully completes the picture of John Lennon, but it does get around the entirety of it after a time, and you can tell who it was meant to be. The text just continues to cycle around the picture, creating it, itself being nothing more than the subject's name, john. The song cycles along with the text, never really stoping, just spinning into infinity.
And I think I like it that way, never really ending or begining, just there. Kind of peaceful, and with the music selection, "Dear Prudence" it should be. I give this animation 5 out of 5 flowers for being really far out man.
