Challenge 706: Cyclists merging
I was cycling through London on my way to do my radio show yesterday when I saw this curious sign:

CAUTION CYCLISTS MERGING

I failed to see any cyclists merging into anything unusual while waiting at these traffic lights. Perhaps you could enlighten me?

High res is here.

You merged the heck out of 'em! Nice one David.



Any exhaust issues in Europe?

Another quickie and another kind of cyclist merge ......

This is a genuine pedal powered school bus in the Netherlands.

I'm not sure what happened. I simply reversed the direction of the girl and used it again... it's been pretty well documented that I have perspective issues. Of course, I did notice it as soon as it was posted, but I had already moved on to the second entry and wasn't interested in fixing the problem.

I've watched the second one over and over, hopefully it's a little better.

The second one contains sixteen separate animations, only one runs in all seventy-four frames... sometimes it's hard to keep track of them.

It's great. Love the parrot tucked away in the background - very surreal.

Very quick 5 min effort this week, due to new work commitments I may need to abstain for a few weeks.

Now that's extraordinary. I had exactly the same idea but in the end did something else. Unless I am mistaken I even downloaded the same cyclist to do it with 'cos he was a ready cut out png and I am basically lazy .......

Re: Challenge 706: Cyclists merging
I had a little extra time this evening and decided to fix my first effort... I can't remove the bad one as I forgot to save the image removal link.

Please ignore the first one...

iwc, you never cease to impress me!

It's so nice to have you back, Michael Sinclair.

Gordon, you put my submission to shame.

Because I don't have enough RAM to get a proper preview, it's like Christmas time. I never know what I've got until I view the rendered video.

I like the effect Sara. Your efforts with Hit Film are coming along nicely.
