Thoughts on Animated Mosaic
Hi all,
I have come up with an animated mosaic and would like to get some feedback.
The following link is to a video of a template that I may use at the end of some of my slideshows, swapping the photos as needed.

Nice effect. I like the "outer-spaciness" of it. And the way it goes from chaos to order.
If it was me, I would speed it up. Maybe 10-15 seconds total run time. And you waited 5 seconds to do the transition from mosaic to solid, I'd cut that to one second.
Guess I have a need for speed.

I'm in total agreement with Joe. It's a wonderful effect. Just don't dwell on it. The image is the star of the show, and the effect is the supporting actor.
Again, the effect is wonderful, but it's moving too slowly.

Re: Thoughts on Animated Mosaic
I like it too! Well done.
Soooo, hmmmm, what software did you use for the mosaic, he asked inquisitively?

Re: Thoughts on Animated Mosaic
The software used was the following:
Photoshop to crop all images to 4:3 aspect ratio. I used an action since I had over 1000 images that needed to be cropped.
AndreaMosaic to create the photo mosaic.
Cinema4D to separate and animate the individual images in the mosaic. I could have used After Effects but the system would have been seriously slowed down with processing. The mosaic size is 102MB!
After Effects for the finishing touches (backdrop and fade/transition at the end.)

Re: Thoughts on Animated Mosaic
Now I'm even more impressed. Your secret is safe with me. But seriously ....
So you took 1000+ separate photos of just things in general, and the software assembles them like little pixels to make the final photo? I swear I saw some photos of what looked like baked beans and there ain't no baked beans in the final photo
My first thought was that you took the final image, created 1000's of little separate mosaic pieces, and scattered the pieces so they could re-assemble themselves.

Yes. I intentionally used royalty-free images and that is why you saw baked beans or a reasonable facsimile. The final image was taken by me. In actual usage, all images would be client images.
The software, Andreamosaic, assembles the images to create a mosaic.
As a result of using the Photoshop action, some of the images are not cropped correctly. That's a tradeoff, but one I am willing to live with since the images move quickly. The alternative would be to crop all images manually.
