awesome bird movement! I wish I couldn't see the ground though, would be much more believable.

great movement of the swan. Maybe another animated background was better. But swan movement deserve a vote

very nice gif, since you can't move the background, a very very thin clouds moving from left to right could help to emphasize the movement relative to the background. But I think this is enough to get my vote.

you also wouldn't have to worry about the blue outline of the swan ;)

@ Sean: I thought of that,but I couldn't very well put the swan out in space so I figure I'd put him high enough so the notion of relative motion was almost negligeble.That way it's only unbelievable if you look at it for a prolonged length of time.

My first try was with a moving forest (4 frames) for a backdrop but it went way over the top in Kb (over 2Mb opt.).After spending a couple of hours on it alreadyand seeing that the contest had already started,I decided on this bird's eye view background.

The important thing for me with this gif,was the challenge of trying to capture the synched fluid motion of the swan's whole body in flight.And for that I'm pretty happy with it...Oh and I liked that little "aura",that's why I left it. ;·)
TheShaman TheShaman
I think the fluid motion of the bird is superb. thats the whole reason I voted for it brother.

@ abraham thanks for your suggestion,it sounds like a good idea that might work nice.we're going out for the day with the family but I may give it a try when I get back. :)
candron candron
cool work , shame you didnt move the earth a little bit under it, you still had a lot of kb left, anyway good work on the bird, bravo
