A spider, resting on a lamp shade, scurried away after being gently poked by me to see if it was still alive.
This exercise aimed to reproduce my impression of its movement, but over a flower as captured by an earlier photograph of another spider instead of the lamp shade.
I drew the flower and the spider in multiple layers via Fresco, exported the pdf file to Illustrator to animate the spider via puppet warp, and assembled the final video from the individual spider layers/frames along with the flower.
Even with puppet warp, the authoring process still involved tedious manual repetitions, which can be alleviated by autocomplete.
