UNI [SITE + MOTION] – FLASH ANIMATION IMAGE 8

May 17th, 2009 | Richard Almond

Image 8 is the last ‘Glimpse of the Spectacular’ and accessed through Image 5. Another very simple yet quite effective animation, cool rays of light from a winter sunset glisten between low clouds as the day sinks into dusk.

The effect is achieved by creating a star-like white vector shape which is blurred and has a blend mode applied to it. This vector is then tweened to simulate the subtle flickering of the rays of sunlight. Again the scene reveals itself only briefly, before again disappearing.

Below is the final version. Please note that the transition buttons to other images have been disabled for preview purposes.
