Indeed. The pastel like quality of the beams and the countless amount of illuminated debris around it makes it so much more compelling.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!
The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

Re: Camera Pans!
After today's Super episode, and after it's hype died down for me, I got a little bored, so I decided to slap this together in about 5 minutes.

Re: Camera Pans!
Not to take the wind out of your sails, but your image made me decide to take a stab at it. I used Kai, and I filled in the gaps from the camera rotating:
I prefer Kai's footage (the film elements at least) over the Dragon Boxes as well, because the colors are superior and the dark details are amazing.
I've also recently been doing some diagonal pans. These require much more extensive work, because this is what you start out with:
So, to make it look decent would require heavy amounts of redrawing the missing segments. I'd like to consider myself pretty well versed in GIMP, so I took a crack at it:
This one took a lot of redrawing. I had to interpret things that weren't there, and that kind of makes me feel uneasy, like I'm trying to fill the shoes of the original artist of this scene, but I did my best, and for all of my additions I add a very fine layer of grain, and slightly blur it to match Kai's footage. I cropped it a bit to the right because the painted backgrounds are the hardest things to match. I think I did a decent job on the cliff on the bottom, however.
Here are some others, which didn't take as much work:
This one was extremely easy; just cut and paste the sky to fill out the missing parts in the bottom left and top right.
This one too was very easy. In fact, it was more challenging to resize and align the frames, since the camera is also zooming during this shot. It was a simple matter to redraw the missing sky.
This one was a bit more complex, but still easier than the first one I posted. I got around most of the redrawing by stretching elements from the existing footage.

Re: Camera Pans!
Those Vegeta vs Goku ones from Kai prove how much lighter Vegeta's hair was intended to be compared to the pure black hair of Goku's. It's so noticeable when they are together. Why does Toei and fans stop doing that now (when using anime colours)? Like, Don't tell me Vegeta's hair is black when those same people colour Gohan's fighting uniform in the Saiyan/Namek arc as blue instead of green (or purple like in the Cell arc). Be consistent or do not complain that Vegeta's hair is brown in the anime, because it is. Copying film over generations lost detail, including darker tones which were not meant to be black did because copying film crushes blacks and other darker colour tones. Raditz' hair is extremely blue, as Vegeta's is dark brown or dark red.

Negative. After making this I showed it someone, and they linked to the one you had already done. Which is much better than mine.Tanooki Kuribo wrote:Is that my patch work?

Re: Camera Pans!
Is it just me, or does that pan completely skip the Androids/Cell arcs as if they never really existed, and goes straight to the Kaioshin realm?

Looks like it's missing Red Ribbon, Piccolo Daimao, Saiyan and Freeza arcs as well.SuicidalZerg wrote:Is it just me, or does that pan completely skip the Androids/Cell arcs as if they never really existed, and goes straight to the Kaioshin realm?
The first half looks like it's dedicated to the first 5 volumes of the manga, then goes straight to the last 2.

Re: Camera Pans!
Yours didn't have that jarring, inconsistent line on the bottom, so I liked yours better. Couldn't really think of a way to cut the line out without slicing part of the image off, and that bugged me, so I said screw it and left it.

Re: Camera Pans!
No it's got the RR one in there... isn't that what the snowy mountain signifies? ... It's got Karin's tower in it... Goku went up that in both the RR arc and the Piccolo Daimao arc. Saiyan arc obviously involves The snake road, and King Kai's planet a lot of the time. Freeza might be missing... maybe they should have turned half of Namek into a flaming red cinderThe Time Traveller wrote:Looks like it's missing Red Ribbon, Piccolo Daimao, Saiyan and Freeza arcs as well.SuicidalZerg wrote:Is it just me, or does that pan completely skip the Androids/Cell arcs as if they never really existed, and goes straight to the Kaioshin realm?

Re: Camera Pans!
I think it's just showing the places where Goku has trained, not the most relevant places of the arcs.

Re: Camera Pans!
Here's another diagonal pan:
That's the original, and here's the one I "filled in":
I thought this one would be a lot easier, since it's a redrawn shot, though it was probably more of a pain since the redrawn shot used lots of gradients. At the very least, it made me less nervous about it not looking great because sometimes when they extended the frame in redrawn shots, it would look less than stellar.
There are a few small areas I still have some gripes with. First, I don't know if I got the topmost black streak effect perfectly straight, since it required a pretty large amount of redrawing. The second thing is the shading on his right arm. It looks a bit strange, but that's because I was following the shading I could see, so it could or could not be accurate to the original drawing (or at least, Kai's tracing).
Overall, I'm satisfied. I spent about 2-3 hours total on this thing.

Re: Camera Pans!
It looks very well done, along with the others. My eyes don't catch much variance from the original image.Metalwario64 wrote:Here's another diagonal pan:
I see that you use GIMP as well. Did you pick up your skills in school or is it something you've learned on your own? Do you use a graphics tablet? The pen tool?

Re: Camera Pans!
I learned GIMP on my own through experimentation. :p
I do own a tablet, but I haven't used it lately because the last time I used it several months ago it started making my computer slow down. The additional art is drawn with my mouse, but looks decent because I use the "smooth stroke" option, which really freakin' helps things! I did use the pen tool for the outline of the hair, however.
Also, I noticed I sort of fudged up his right thumb, and there was a line of pixels on the top right from the footage, so I redrew the hand and cropped it a couple of pixels to eliminate the black line. I actually used a shot of Gohan's hand in the same position from another shot as a reference to make sure I had the finger proportions correct.
I posted the correction in place of the original in the previous post.

Here's some more pans from my Dragon Box, specifically from DBZ Episode 2.
