Sound 013 Animation and INTERLACING

This was the most fun animation for me to create because I was able to experiment with geometric shapes and COLOUR. However, once I had animated the piece, exporting it and dealing with interlacing became a massive issue I thought I wouldn't be able to solve.

This is the piece which I wanted to bas my animation upon:

I thought I would be able to make the geometric shapes grow and grow until they became an assortment of shapes. I did however have to narrow down the amount I used because otherwise my animation would have gone on forever and wouldn't be in time with the audio. This is the timeline I worked from:

This timeline was pretty easy to follow from partly because the sound is so straightforward as the spacing in-between each significant noise in the clip is exactly the same. Therefore I didn't have to worry too much.

This is what I came up with:

This is the first video I exported, and I knew something was wrong because once I watched it back, I realised that there were these 'motion lines' for every time my geometric shape/triangles grew. At first I wondered if it would still look alright and maybe it was just my laptop, but then after transferring the video to another computer, I realised it was a reoccurring issue and something to do with the piece itself.

After some research, I gathered that these motion lines are actually interlacing, and they occur when there is a mismatch between project set up in premiere and your actual file format and size. I have never come across this before, so I was really unaware there was such an issue and didn't know where I went wrong.

For my first attempt at trying to solve the interlacing, I tried the solution of right clicking my clip on the timeline, going into the 'field settings' and 'deinterlacing'. At first I thought this would be an obvious solution, because from it's name it seems like it would do the obvious of removing the motion lines out of my animation. However in fact, it did nothing at all and once I exported the video, they were still there.

My other solution was to just start the project in premiere again. This time changing my sequence settings from 'Upper field first' field to NO FIELDS. Once I reset my project up again and exported it, this somehow did the trick and my animation has no motion lines. This is the final result...

Overall I really like how it turned out. I do wish that I perhaps has more geometric shapes going on so that it could ultimately look like the piece I made and took influence from however due to the time clip, I could not do this. But either way I love the colour and direction it went in.
