Description
Tweak, tweak, fiddle, fiddle.... oh, HEY, that's it!
This is more what I was going for, sort of a tunnel effect..
Widened the angle on the lens, moved the camera.
This is what I wanted! Sort of like the eye of a huricane.
Same as before, 1024 crows, all done in Bryce, no post.
Thanks for viewing!
; )
p.s. People keep mentioning "A Murder of Crows" (Like a Gaggle of Geese.) I have made an animation called exactly that:
"A Murder of Crows (Animation)"
As well as many other strange animations....

Impressive!!
Brilliant:-)
Hey! This is a murder of crows not an ascension of larks!
Ohhhhh I'm dizzzy now! Great work!
Love it! I have a fun with it! Excellent done!!!!
Super! Although I liked the previous animation too.
Yeah I know, I trolled your gallery awhle back ! hey look there's Sheryl and big bad Russ again and again and again...gotta stop getting dizzy ! kool stuff Eric Cheers
I can not look very long as I seem to get a sudden urge to send you money!
Ahhh... deja vu.....I remember...that was what I saw two weeks ago when I was lying in the sun at 32 degrees.....LOL...amazing as always....
He He!...Alfred Hitchcock would love your style...as do I. Awesome work!
A murder of crows, a gaggle of geese, a bunch of dizzy people. lol! Now it looks like my monitor is spinning the opposite direction!
just plain cool
This one is definitely more spacial. Still the same number of crows? Either way, this Rocks! Have a great week Eric.
You are really trying to hypnotize us? LOL
Ok. Now I am totally in a trance. lol. Looking at those crows for a minute has taken me down the vortex with them. Excellent work. lol
It's this seamless quality that makes a great animation. Extremely economically and stylishly done too in monochrome. Ominous. Can't help but think of old Hitchcock. This is just his cup-a-tea :-)
Both have strongpoints: THERE the quackiness and bravado of croses and caws, HERE the smooth funnel of turkey vultures or buzzards circling the sun, but, with an elegant and pathetic (in the root sense) reversal, definitely LOOKING DOWN while the viewer LOOKS UP, hehe. Why stop now....
Very Hitchcockian,indeed.I was thinking of The Birds,too.Very ominous animation and perfectly executed,Eric.I like the tunnel effect you've achieved.Well done and glad to hear it's cooler there.-M :^)
Super idea and impressive image!!!Bravo as usual!:DDD.Hugsxx
A Swirrling vortex of crows--scary ?--no just think of them as crows in a blender....soon we'll have crow-tein shake !
Kinda tends to pull me into it. Hypnotic anyway. I recall the most interesting formation of birds were the Starlings I saw while living in the California wine country of Sonoma county. They would swoop about in a coordinated cloud that was very fascinating to behold.
Yes...master. Your..word..is...my...command... Hehehe...very hypnotic. I kept staring at it and I started to zone out, lol.
WOW! Awesome animation Eric! I might suggest air sickness bags for the weak at heart!
So simple but so very cool... This is awesome...!!!!
Go into the light Carolann! Go into the light!!
UNIQUE UNIQUE UNIQUE DID I SAY U N I Q U E :) Wonderful ideA :)
LOL Eric another cool and hypnotic ani,wonderful creation*****
Very cool!
Personally, I much prefer this animation to the band "Counting Crows."
