Click "our work" and check the office panorama anim. How is this motion blur effect done? Very slick indeed.

Sorry, click "about us" then "bios"
The motion blur seems to intensify the faster the panorama is moving.

Motion blur the image in Photoshop
- Import a blurred and non blurred version of same photo
-Tween pan of blurred photo in Flash
- End the animation on the non blurred version of the same image.

Yeah but it's done thru actionscript, because when you go slowly it is not blurred.
They have a few nice effects in that site.

Hmmm, I see what you mean. I wonder if they determine the speed by the distance by charting 2 mouse points over a specific number of miliseconds. Depending on the speed have the burred layer visible or invisible during the pan.
Just a thought... It is very nice.

Well since the blur amount doesn’t increase it’s either off or on. They could use something like if Movie Clip movement is greater than 15pixels blurredMovieClip._visible = true. And if not it just functions normal.
Clever guys
Also if you type in v1 instead of v2 in the address bar you get something funny... and it changes from time to time.

still he is right about the blur and non-blur, you do need some AS in their though.

LET IT BE SAID I THOUGHT OF IT FIRST! :((

DAMNIT! Oh well, here's what I did. I attached a MC to the mouse and had another one follow it with a delay. During that tim of delay, I basically tell the blurred image to be visible (in this case, I tell it to play so it fades in)
I can't believe someone else thought of that...oh well, I can make mine better :>

For the barbariangroup blur, I brought the panorama into photoshop, made 4 (I think it was 4) motion blurred versions with varying degrees of blur (and I tweaked the levels a bit so the image gets 'hotter' the faster the blur). The four blurs and original pan are put into a movie clip spread across 5 frames. If the pan is moving at, for example, 20 pixels or less per frame, it stays on frame 1, the one showing the unblurred image. If it is moving 20 to 40 pixels, it shows frame 2. 40 to 80, it shows frame 3, etc.
Actually fate, I was ripping Natzke. ;) He was the first person I saw do the blur effect. Click on 'Pattern Reflections' at www.natzke.com.

Don't you love it when you ask a tech question and the person who created it comes back with the answer in less than 10 posts?
