her train, 2D animation

Published by Silveira on 2022-11-21

I’m learning to use Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro. This is a little animation I’ve done to learn more about how to make 2D animations and video post-production. It’s a lot of work but it is rewarding to see it working.

Surprisingly the stars in the sky was what took me the longest. I found a lot of ways to do complex animated starfields but not an easy way to make a static simple one.

Here is a copy of the video as an alternative to YouTube.

   def foo 
      [1, 2, 3]
   end 
end

class B < A 
   def foo 
      super.map{ |n| n * 2 } 
   end 
end

puts A.new.foo.to_s
puts B.new.foo.to_s

Output

[1, 2, 3]
[2, 4, 6]

1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;

2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;

3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.

Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.
