| Motion blur in movement - insinuating fast movement |
I have time and time again witnessed the amplification of smooth movement motion blurs evoke, and how they interact with different keyframe interpolation effects to create a satisfactory flow. Due to this, the moment my collaborative partner Jay pointed out the motion blur layers in After Effects, I was dazzled by the immediate embellishing resemblance to Kiszkiloszki's work. I started researching effective methods of using motion blurs accordingly, as well as looking and critically analyzing Kiszkiloszki's animation. Then, I reverted back to the Animation Survival Kit and the online derivatives of that knowledge, finding some relevant online sources and one extremely plausible GIF image that reminded me of one crucial benefactor - motion blur is to be prominent with fast motion. Considering all of this research, I applied motion blurs to Seth's fast motion, such as him flying through the air or arising submerged from water after being thrown. Seeing as those two scenes are in sequence, the motion blur would be more noticable and promiment, giving off the sence of rapid motion in the eyes of the audience. Diverging from this, I continued scouting the internet about blurs and started experimenting with gaussian blurs of the assets in every scene, only to find out that it gives off the depth of field illusion of distance, as well as the shifting focal point of the scene. So, having this in mind, I utilized the potential of blurs and added it to almost every scene. However, because it is a manual blur, the limitation is in being careful not to have inconsistent values between assets, for some are scaled from bigger images that would need more gaussian blurs for the same distance in effect - something I realized after several detailed looks at unsatisfactory renders.
