Twenty prints fall onto a table and the last one lands in the middle, bigger and straight.

Make your own polaroid photo animation

Drops a pile of photos onto a table as polaroids, landing at angles, so twenty pictures become one object. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Say this to your agent

>Turn my twenty photos into polaroids dropping onto a table.

Or ask for a different one

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >Six photos instead of twenty, each landing slower.

  • >Polaroids that drop and then get swept into a neat grid.

  • >The same drop but the photos land in a scrapbook rather than on a table.

What it worked out on its own

  • The shadow is the trick: wide and soft in the air, tight on the table. Without it a rotated rectangle is a rotated rectangle; with it the pile has a height.

  • Landing spots walk a loose grid with a nudge per print, so the pile spreads like a real one and still fills the frame. Deterministic from the index, so it is the same every render.

  • The last print lands centred, larger and level, and everything underneath dims by a third. Twenty photographs with no hierarchy is a contact sheet.
