Hello. From the Lunar Library's avatar

wow - the first time I saw Pottus Broka in the sky, I knew there must be a higher power.

Wow, this was so cool! I loved how the star pattern truly looked random, but you were able to clearly overlay the speech text, and then also the constellations. Super fun! What program did you use to put together the animation???

Preesh! The core of this is the two images at the bottom of the post. For the animation, I exported lots of PNGs with different layers turned on/off and pulled them into Final Cut Pro in order. I played with timing and used crossfade transitions between images to create the illusion of different pieces fading in. Lil’ soundscaping, lil’ voiceover, bada bing.

Were I to dig deeper, like to make Vix’s mouth move, I’d probably just plop a closed mouth and fleshy blob over the face and switch it on and off. Get my Hanna-Barbara on.

Awesome! It worked really well! I love hearing how people use the wide variety of available software out there to get drawings moving. Nice work, man.
