Task 5 - Temporal Graffiti

A 4 second video (100 frames). We were given an image and, finding our own images, were meant to animate the masks so that the images fade in  and using multiply layer settings to make images semitranparent and lower saturation and curves in the effects so that colour will not over power - creating a graffiti effect that will fade in and out.

Animating the masks include the feather (hardness/softness) of the mask's edge, and movementof the animation by moving the points of the mask and timing the mask path. Inverting the mask means that the selection area  reversed, the add toggle means that the area selected will be shown, while subtract is were areas highlighted would be hidden. This was how the images were able to animate in using masks. A second mask layer, which was animated to uncover images, is in subtract mode, so that when the subtraction mask (which was covering the image) animated away it revealed the image underneath - feathering was added to this so that is was a smooth removal of the mask.

With mine I decided a Japanese theme and picked old japanese images, I altered the edges of the images or changed their scale so that it appeared to ofollow the wall and was sprayed on. For the castle on the floor I only coverec the middle of the picture so that the edges was still visible (creating a stencil effect), squished the image's scale so that it was inlined with the floor and made the subtractive masks appear like clouds to suite theme.
