Motion Graphics




John Whitney's

John Whitney created his amazing visuals through the manipulation of his analog computer/film camera device. He built the device by using the pieces from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. One of his most famous works created on his device was the animated title sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo, which he collaborated on with the graphic designer Saul Bass.

Tips for Accomplishing Project 3
1) find images that are at least 1200 pixels on the shortest side
2) look for images that have people/things in similar positions
3) look for images with a light source that comes from the same side.
4) look for images that are similar in tone
5) duplicate important layers when necessary
6) save often

* Be considerate of who the celebrities are that you are choosing. What is their new identity when they are "mashed up".
