Today we would create an effect where we use many photo’s to create one large one. Much like a mosaic using other photographs.
To achieve this effect, we needed to use an external piece of software called “andreamosaic” found at this address, www.andreamosaic.com/andreamosaic
We created a photo mosaic of this picture
and using photo’s on my harddrive we created this mosaic
We set images to consist of 50 images across and 90 down, making each picture 50 pixels wide and 37 pixels high. This information wold be important later.
We then imported this image into after effects and made it into a composition. We then added the Card Dance effect. This effect works by slicing an image up into different sections and animating them to move around the screen. As we knew the dimensions of each image, we set the parameters to those sizes. Row=90 and column=50. We then created fractal to use at the map for the animation. We set the Z position to react to the black and white shapes of this fractal. We animated the mutiply keyframe in this effect to make sections come together. This is what we rendered.
Next we created a new background using two fractals. We added a tritone effects to colour the fractals and added a radial blur to the layer. We also added a glow to the mosaic layer. This is what we were left with.
