Animated Icon: River Dance (Thanks SeaOtter!)
Wednesday, August 23, 2006

A warning: This thing is absolutely huge. I mean data huge, not size huge as it's only 250x150 in size. I've been experimenting with fading techniques, inspired by others wiser in the ways of animation than I. The result works well, but seems to take up lots and lots of space! My thanks to SeaOtter, who suggested that this scene might be animation worthy. Hope you like the result!

It is very nice, but I think the cuts to Simon are distracting.

This is nice but I think it could use some more of the dancing.

I have a punch of captures from the River dancing bit of that scene. In sequence even. I was thinking of doing something with them but I cant do animated gifs. If you would like them I can send them to you.

Thanks for the comments all, especially you Azhea as I've just spotted the Inara sponge bath animation you posted before I posted this one, and it's *so* much better than this!

The cuts to Simon do take away from the dancing, but when I went through the images I kinda wanted to do something with his reaction to River - how he goes from worried to confused to surprised and happy to see her so happy. The caption "Be Surprised" just jumped out at me.

I have another one that just features the dancing, but since the only images I have are from still-flying.net it doesn't cover the whole scene. So I will be PMing Kayna for those captures!

I finally saw this -- I'm a little slow. :D

This is really neat! I hadn't expected the cuts to Simon, but I see why you did it.

If you do another one with the additional frames, it will be beautiful, too. Everything you do is great!

I like having Simon interspersed in the dancing, his reactions sort of made the scene. Maybe you can do a funny one where Simon has a bag put over his head-and then "Be surprised" appears :)
