- the technique i describe in the previous response (i.e. the use
- of hand-drawn, penciled and inked, etc. images -- digitized into the
- computer environment where they are "animated" under user control)...
-
- ... the set of images i am currently working with come from the film:
-
- "this island earth"
-
- ... in the piece, users can manipulate a painting of the movie's:
-
- metaluna mutant
-
- ... opening and closing the creatures lil' claws by way of a small hand
- held control device...
-
- ... additional parts 'o the mutant creature "animate" at random...
-
- i.e. the mouth and eyes change, blood gushes outta the mutant's semi
- exposed veins, etc.
-
- a most neat (while at the same time revolting (-:) sci-fi movie
- image 'o the mid 1950's.
