playing with composite nodes/ Blender 2.75


I wanted to see if I could composite some image in Blender 2.75. I have mostly neglected this feature- being more familiar to non-linear applications like after affects or combustion. But Nodes are actually what all major applications use to compose pieces- So I wanted to take a crack at compositing  three images representing a foreground, mid-plane and a background. Using the mid plane and foreground element that have an alpha background- so they are more or less cutouts that can see around this was a good test// using Blender Node screen was cool- each image is an inputNode  that are composited together with Alpha Over  ( Color Node)- I wanted some 2d movement in the piece to give it a motion graphics feel- so a added a translate node after the foreground image Node and a rotation Node after the Mid plane image Node...
the node set up looks like this:
I will test this out with movie clips next... The movie can be then linked into the Video Sequence editor and synced with sound for a final output.....cool!

movie test 1

This is a test 2d motion test using #Sketchbook Pro 7 images, #Blender 2.75 for frame by frame animation and #Audacity for sound tracking// the animation and sound we then edited together using Blenders Non linear video sequencer and output into OGV file format- this can be played on many browsers less Safari- I will need to figure how to align this into HTML5 features for mobile out put potential options....
