I've noticed that "animating with mouse" has become an animation style of it's own on youtube recently. Mostly in comedic contexts which does look quite charming but in education videos as well which seems to be very functional.
An easy way to achieve this style in video is to fire up gimp (or some other image editor) and hide cursor in the recording software.
- panphora 5y agoThis sounds like a great real-time teaching style. Can you point us to the videos you're talking about?
- woojoo666 5y agoThis meme[1] is pretty famous but doesn't hide the cursor or anything. There are a few others like it, I've never seen an educational video done like that though [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-fXTRHApRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-fXTRHApRc
- leobg 5y agoHow do they manage to move multiple “cutouts” independently at the same time, using the mouse? Especially when they’re overlapping. Green screen multiple recordings, and then merge them? Or is there a simpler explanation?
- riidom 5y agoYes since the background image is static you don't need a greenscreen. From watching just once, I think the guy never overlaps his clone(s). So you make two separate versions where their bounding boxes won't overlap (requires some planning) and then just show the left two-thirds of the bg image with guy 1, and the right one-third with guy 2, divided by a simple vertical cut. And the overall zooming/panning is done after the merging. That's how I'd approach it.
- mdrzn 5y agoThe video is highly edited, it just appears to be a single screen recording.
- scrollaway 5y agoThat was… hypnotic, no other word for it. Thanks for the discovery.
