I'm liking the idea of showing old Sheffield transitioned with the new, and just wanted to try a few things out in order give the idea a little life and to try and see how it might look on a bigger, more realised scale. I'm holding off at this point to see which idea flies before I press on and commit fully, I think the upcoming pitch will help and I should get some good feedback on where this is heading. But for now, I just wanted to see what I could do with the idea of historical transitions.
So I made a quick test of showing 3 separate images, from 3 different eras, of 1 specific location, in this case, Sheffield City Hall. I managed to find 3 similar enough looking photos that clearly show the building at three different points in its history, and wanted to see how the effect would look when transitioning between them.
Here's what it turned out like...
Again, just a quick test, but one worth doing, as it reflects perfectly the very core of the idea I have in mind.
Looking at the final piece though, its clear that the idea needs something more behind it in order to make it work, and as stated, maybe if I could give the still images some life and animate them somehow, then the idea would be better. As it stands right now, it's just 3 still images crossfading into each other, something that can be done in a simple slide show, and not something that will potentially get me great marks.
So the next step is to experiment with animating a still image...
