Here are two sketches that I showed before the break. The goal of the first was to explore Mr. Softie’s export capability, and produce a short video using After Effects. The piece is a short rhyme whose behavior attempts to illustrate (abstractly? I’m trying to get away from this word) its meaning. It’s nothing amazing, but jhave commented that it might interesting, given the topic of drinking, to do sketches while essentially getting drunk… So, if anything, I’m happy with the discussion that came out of it, as well as the effect given off in the last frame. I haven’t tested jhave‘s green-screen technique, but it seems to work well for Nicolás.

The next sketch is an illustration that reads “And of course the nightly news will deceive you”. I started in Mr. Softie, applied some behaviors, cut up some text, and exported to Illustrator and added texture/color in Photoshop. The idea is to play with primary, nationalistic colors (blue, white, red) and use black for expression. It’s very much a work in progress.
