AWKWARD!


I'm getting there - trying to work on not tracing. The latest animation shows factoring in the growth and numbers of AIDS-infected population. It does not take into account the ways in which AIDS was contracted, but the information is available, and I thought about mapping that through color differences, maybe.


Another idea I had was to have, after the spread of the disease is shown, the places where treatment is available (and how much of it is available in relation to the population). Therefore, maybe the difference between infected population and treatment availability could be mapped - showing the areas where treatment is in high demand.

If you compare the previous animation with the most recent animation, my idea is that these spheres leap from land to land, "infecting" it and spreading, as AIDS does to the human body. The land masses are supposed to be transparent (though it is hard to tell in these studies), so you can see AIDS "infecting" the land. I am having A LOT of trouble making the tools do things smoothly. The morph tool tends to make objects that seem like they should be simple, turn some of them into surface objects, etc (which is what happened in my animation for today).
