Please bestow a ♥ like or leave a ✉ comment if you have questions! 0:18 – Slow Motion From Photos Example 1:00 – Tutorial Start (tips and important information) 2:51 – How to Create Slow Motion From Pictures (method explained) ☞ TIPS: ✏ Rotate around your subject – your axis of rotation should be around the subject in the photo. ✏ Choose subjects with little background detail to achieve the best Pixel Motion effect. ✏ Keep the motion between images very, very subtle. Practice rotating around your subject once or twice before you take the picture. ✏ Remember to have your camera on manual EVERYTHING: Aperture, Shutter, Focus, and White Balance. This will ensure the fastest multi-burst from your camera (DSLR or point-and-shoot). If you are shooting at a higher ISO, turn off in-camera noise reduction. ✏ Rename your files to numbers or alphabetical order – After Effects sometimes won’t create a proper JPEG sequence with filenames such as “IMG_9738.JPG”. In this example, I renamed my photos by chopping off the first 5 characters (making the filename “738.JPG”) with a file renamer. ✏ Resize your images to your output WIDTH (1920 for my project). I created an action in Photoshop that automates everything. This will speed up your overall production and processing time. ☞ You can also use this method …

You’ve got to love the old clichés. A picture’s worth 1000 words – but, in many cases, talk is cheap.  There are many reasons to have an image on your blog posts.  It will help catch the reader’s eye, to hook them into reading the post, but it can also provide some valuable SEO juice to help your post be found when someone is searching for content that you’ve written about.

For many bloggers, it’s not uncommon to just use Google image search and find an image that you like to represent your post.  If your blog is for personal use only, this practice is fairly common and it’s unlikely someone will come after you for showing their picture to your 50 readers.  But for many of us, the blog is a vehicle to help us promote our business, and if you use protected images you are violating the copyright.  Stanford.edu has some great information on copyright and fair use.

Stock photography sites are a great place to find pictures, and they can usually be found for a dollar or two.  The nice thing about buying stock photos is that they are usually royalty-free, which means you only have to pay once to use the image.

Another way that you can find images to use legally on your website is to explore the public domain or creative commons.  Here are a few sites that you can use to find free images for your next blog post:

morgueFile. If you’ve ever wondered where good pics go when they die, you’ll be happy with this site.  A website by creatives for creatives.  I like this site for their massive images and good selection, but I love it for the ability to crop and post directly from their site.

Stock.XCHNG. Another great site with excellent content.  394642 photos online right now, in a variety of searchable categories.

Google Images. Yes, I know this doesn’t look quite right.  But this image search engine lets you filter by license type. If you click on the “advanced search” link, you can change the usage rights to find images that you can use.  I choose “labeled for commercial reuse with modification.”

No matter where you find your image, it’s probably best to check to see if the license allows you to use it in the way that you want.  A few seconds of checking beforehand can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

If you want to see if your personal images are being used anywhere, there are some tools that you can use to find them.  TinEye and GazoPa are two popular reverse image search tools.

A great image can help your blog be read, be found, and be remembered – but it’s not worth stealing someone else’s creative efforts to enhance your own.

A higher quality version of this video is available for download at: www.animemusicvideos.org This video was incredibly important to me. I hadn’t heard the cover of Tears for Fears “Mad World” until I saw the film Donnie Darko. I thought that Gary Jules brought a new level of darkness to it. What better show to use than FLCL, one of the fastest, most upbeat shows out there? Anyway, about six months before the Otakon deadline I began conceptualizing the video. I knew it wouldn’t be like other FLCL videos, but frankly, I didn’t care. This was something I needed for myself. I wanted something artistic, different; something people would understand and enjoy, yes, but also, something that I could speak with… something that would allow me to convey my own hopes and fears through entertainment media. I wanted to get back to my film roots and do something slow. I didn’t want it to hit every beat or be overshadowed by effects. Unfortunately, being who I am, I had to mess with each and every frame in some way. That’s just the way it goes, I suppose. Jeff Heller (gambitt) was staying with me over the summer by the time I began concentrating heavily on this piece. He ended up prepping a good number of the composites as I went to work putting together some of the other aspects of the thing. He also watched the show a few hundred times to find what might be proper footage. We ended up using Adobe After Effects to do the composites, along with Magic Bullet to achieve an actual 2.35:1 …

In the final result, we had only a click track which Ray [the drummer] sync’d with, so he starts a measure early, and the band picks it up like normal and the video syncs with the band. One of the coolest thing ever. It’s awesome. The video itself is pretty awesome, I like it a lot. I made this animation with Adobe After Effects CS3.
