2nd image gif expeirments

This image is based on an artical from the guardian surrounding the subjuect of ruissian spies. The artical give the account of a scientist who came into contact with the same nurve agent that was used in insident in Salusbury. The section of text I have decied to focus on is Andrei Zheleznyakov (the scitentist) account of first coming into contact with the agent. 'Circles appeared before my eyes: red and orange. A ringing int my ears , I caught my breath. .... I sat down on a chair and told the guys: it's got me.'
I decied to try out an idea that was kept quite close to the text. The only thing that I really add a spin on was the description of the red and orange circles. I had the idea that these could be vapours with hands coming from them holding him to the chair. I want to push a more metophorical appriach for this image and im not happy with how this image had turned out. The detail in the mans face is hard to see and sort of blends into one. The image as a hole feels to controled. The subject of chemicals and sience lends itself well to an experimental approach. I am going to re develop the image and approach it in a more metophorical and experimental angle. Making the gif too was challengeing. It is not as slick as I would like. For ideas that have fluid movement after effects would be the best software to use. But also the image is not as bold or eye grabing as I want it to be. The duller tones wash out the key elements slightly. Bolder and simpler ideas and shapes too are easier to turn into gifs. I need an image like the previous gif , that is sucessful both as an image and gif.
