Moving Pictures: Dragon Frame

Having been ill on Monday I missed the Dragon Frame introduction. However I was quickly caught up, understanding how to mount the camera, open the software as well as new files, and create an animation.

I find the most interesting aspect of Dragon Frame is the ability to see the previous frame and a live view at the same time. During the session it allowed me to align my movements much better and helped create a much smoother animation.

Here is the piece I made today:

I felt it improved upon my original attempt using iMotion largely for the reasons stated above, but also because I cut a few aspects and added others. For example I removed the wifi symbols going into the phone and car as I feel that had already been established at the beginning. I then chose to have the large wifi symbol at the top 'fail' after the girl was hit to suggest her life was failing also.
