When you flip through a novel like you would with a flip
book animation, the words are a scrambled mess. By
having certain words repeat for say 20 or 30 pages or
so,they'd stand out when you
flipped those pages being the only word that slowly
moved
across the page. They'd move because the
word would
change positions ever so slightly from page to page so as
to
be
hard to single out if you're not actually flipping the pages
quickly. Then a second word would appear also
slowly moving, then the third etc till the message was
finished.
The movement would prevent anybody from just being a
killjoy and turning pages to see which words were in the
same place. Flipping them quickly so you could see the
serial motion of the floating words would be the much
faster way to read the message.
So you might flip through Moby Dick and see the message
floating around "The... whale... kills... everybody...
except...
Ishmael."

The version for the book of Revelations of St. John the Divine of Patmos will be ... interesting. |
|
| |
Occurred to me, doesn't even need to be words. The eye
would see something as little as a period or comma that was
animated such that it appeared to be a single point moving
around. |
|
| |
Not sure why you'd to that but you could. |
|
| |
OH, I know. You could have them swirling around the
sentence that's animating. |
|
| |
If you haven't seen this [link] before you'll dig it. |

It would have been nice if the good Doc acknowledged my animated pages idea of Oct 12 2009 (link) since this is clearly where he got 'his' idea from, having read it on the link on one of Hippo's postings. Go on Doc - fess up! |
|
| |
So you came up with the idea of movement of
objects in a series of pages that only become visible
through serial motion when flipping through the
pages but are not perceptible otherwise? |
|
| |
Because that's pretty original. A bouncing ball in a
flip book isn't. See links. |
|
| |
But if you want credit and accolades, OK, sure.
Enjoy. |
|
| |
Show me where you've seen a book with the animated page numbers featuring the images I described in my idea..... eg: "Pulp fiction style detective novels could get a film noir style flickering neon, or smoking gun sequence incorporating the changing page numbers". It's not an accolade. It's a halfbakery courtesy to acknowlege the person who had the original idea. You just changed the images into words. |
|
| |
Yes, but a word is worth a thousand... no, wait, there's something wrong with that phrase ... |
|
| |
//You just changed the images into words// |
|
| |
No, I hid an object or objects, in an obscuring
cloud that only
becomes perceptible when you impart serial
motion to it. You put a number on a bouncing ball. |
|
| |
That's like saying "You didn't invent the liquid
fueled space rocket, you copied me throwing a
rock into the air.", but I envy you having the time
and energy to get upset about such things. |
|
| |
But I'll grant you this: I saw your "idea" and thought
"What if one was to
do something original and interesting instead?" so
yes, you get full credit for that. |
|
| |
sighs..... whatever - it's obviously more important to you than me, so I'll let it go this time, but try to respect the simple courtesy in future. |
|
| |
Thanks for the lesson in Halfbakery curtesy, this from
somebody who calls people Hitler every 5 seconds. |
|
| |
Tell you what, as a peace offering I'll tell you this, I
bun
your ideas all the time despite our being from
different ends of the galaxy. You are very creative. |
|
| |
Ha Doc - you're the biz :-) |
|

"He's a bit of a crawler, Moriarty ..." |
|
| |
I think it would conflict with the flow/style of writing because the story would have to come first then some jiggery-pokery to get the animation to work. |
|
| |
I would be very impressed if the novel was written and the writer's subconscious mind had already inlaid the flashy extras. |
