Liquid
Kaleidoscopes
I started
to write up the complicated process it took to create these,
but that was boring. So I'll skip that. These are animated kaleidoscopic
Flash animations, but don't let the word "Flash" scare
you as they are not representative of that sort of work at all.
QuickTime output may have been preferable except that QuickTime
is unable to perform certain functions that I needed to get the
transparent overlays and randomizing feature.
Using
two different overlays timed at different intervals, each movie
is created so that although the movie repeats or loops, it is never the same twice. Reload the animation to get an entirely
new one. At first the playback may be jerky until the entire
movie is loaded into cache, after which point the liquid animation
takes place. Please be patient while they load. Each animation
opens to a small window.
Enjoy.
Software
