Animated candles, original burning candle animations

Something different for us

spinning candleblow the candle outA break from years of tradition on SevenOaks Art. Some animated burning candles made from video footage. We particularly like this effect and it does not take a lot of hard work to create something like this. We spend hours making 3D models for nearly all our work and something like this is a treat to make. Each animated candle can be downloaded separately. We have placed each animation on a black background. These animations are a break from tradition with us as nearly all our work is created in a CAD modeling software program. These are videos captured on a Sony Cybershot. We set the candle up on our desk with a matt black background, carefully stood the camera in front of it and then started it in video mode. They are then edited and converted into an animated gif in Jasc animation Shop. The "I can't blow the candle out" and "candle and picture" animations were made using a different technique altogether.

Candle in front of a picture

animated candle and pictureWe love to experiment and develop our animations and the four animated candles above could be the beginning of a new range of animations, we have already done one of a robin feeding on our bird table and the spinning candle cube is our first tentative approach into making animations that combine 3d animated gifs and video footage. We will of course avoid the temptation to use video animations that are megabytes in size and keep to our policy of producing fast downloading high quality animated gifs.
We just had to add one of our favourite candle animations that has been used on other web pages. A candle in front of a photograph, a technique that we have used for Bollywood and Christmas animations as well.
