you know how every film awards ceremony has a dead people section where they play a video showing the pictures of the newly deceased but stylized like as if they perished in battle, like sepia+zoom out?

anyhow someone should edit a video like that for devrant users that deleted their accounts.

i browsed my posts yesterday and noticed several users that aren’t among us anymore.
(cue gregorian chant) may you rest from idiot managers and idiot client.

@jesustricks that's actually a nice suggestion, @d-fox @trogus.

The zooming and panning is called the Ken Burns effect.

@irene
The actual name of the technique is animatics, or in the trade "benching stills." It became synonymous with burns after Steve Jobs licensed his name to add legitimacy to iMovie, and now an entire generation doesn't know it by any other name 😆

@SortOfTested It has been a while since I did animation. Am I wrong on this? Animatics are for communicating using still image transitions. Like zooming in on a face in the crowd to deanonymize a human crowd experience. Or quickly panning to a facial reaction to add a response to larger action content in a static image. It adds communication flow without adding actual motion. It is very deliberate.

The Ken Burns effect as is a type of animatic transition that gets added to a photo to make it look less static but doesn’t add any additional context to the photo. Basically animatics are the concept of adding motion to stills and communicate something, Ken Burns effect makes a photo look less uncomfortably static in a video sequence.

@irene
Kind of are, the Ken burns effect is just apple marketing.

@SortOfTested It is amazing that I have had that wrong so long and didn’t know it. Maybe if I still worked in the creative industry I would have self corrected. Oh well so much to know I guess. Thanks for the correction.
