Puppet

Untitled from Taylor Wamble on Vimeo.


I think that the puppet tool was a lot easier to use than the rotation tool to make the blades of grass move around. The comp is pretty simple and straight forward. I had a hard time trying to come up with imagery that could utilize the puppet tool. So this comp is similar to another of mine because I wanted to do a landscape to best utilize the new tool.

  1. I understand what you mean by having a hard time getting the imagery to utilize the puppet tool. I'm a bit curious as to why the house rises up. The flowers make sense of course, but the house doesn't rise enough for me to know whether it was intentional or not. If it went higher and floated in the sky, that would be much clearer versus it looking a bit like a glitch at this point.

  2. I think that maybe you can take the puppet tool and bend the flowers like crazy in the wind since it is a dream. Right now the flowers are the only thing that seems problematic with movement but other than that I think revisiting past elements in a new way really helps.

  3. The blades of grass moving are working, although i wonder if they should flicker in the same direction or not. Wind patterns change, but i do not get the sense of a dominating wind current in this piece. Is that intentional?

    Beyond that, the appropriated images are composited together well, and feel like a single complete environment.

  4. I think this is definitely one of those rare instances where the puppet tool comes in handy. The grass looks a lot better than in the first one you did. I like the sky a lot too, but I already told you that.

  5. The flowers have a nice sway, but the speed of the clouds makes me think the wind should be more swift. I love the way the house seems huge and in the distance at first, but then it's lifted by the grass and the perspective completely changes.
