For this short project we were tasked with creating a small animation using a background image of sky and an image of an aeroplane, both of which were given to us as stock images. We used Nuke X to create the small animation, using the merge and transfer tools alongside the images to move the aeroplane across the scene and to merge the images together.
For my animation, I decided to use multiple images of the aeroplane to give the effect of multiple planes flying overhead.
In order to do this I used more aeroplane images with transfer tools to allow me to individually move each of the images more effectively. I then used the merge tool to add the remaining aeroplanes to the final scene.
I gave the aeroplanes different sizes to give the effect of being further back from or closer to the camera. As a result of this, I made the closer aeroplanes move faster than the aeroplanes behind them, to give a more realistic appearance.
After creating the animation, I exported the animation as an image sequence and a GIF file. This allowed me to have access to both the final number of images used in the animation as well as a looping image file of the animation as seen below.
Overall, I believe I did well on this small project because the final result of the animation plays incredibly smoothly, with the speed of the aeroplanes at each distance being believable and the blur of the aeroplane image further improving the look and feel of the animation. If I could improve on this animation, I would make the bottom right aeroplane further back to give the effect of a more line like appearance of placement.
