Animation
- sequential frame-by-frame text evolution from 'H' to 'WISH UPON A STAR', followed by gradual fading of clouds and text
Animation Summary
Text begins as single letter 'H', progressively adds letters to form 'WISH UPON A STAR' across sequential frames, then fades out completely. The animation maintains consistent background elements (stars and clouds) throughout the sequence.
Colors
- dark blue
- white
- light blue
- yellowish white
Composition
- centered text within cloud against starry sky
Dense Caption
A 25-frame animated contact sheet displays the evolution of an AOL Instant Messenger buddy icon. The animation begins with a single letter 'H' in a cloud against a dark blue starry sky, gradually adding letters to form 'WISH UPON A STAR'. Each frame shows incremental text changes within white clouds: starting from 'H', then 'HI', 'WISH', 'WISH A', 'WISH ON A', and progressing through intermediate steps like 'WISH UPON A ST' until the final phrase 'WISH UPON A STAR' appears. The background features a dark blue night sky with scattered white stars, some of which are yellowish in color. White clouds serve as text containers throughout the animation. As the text completes, the cloud and text gradually fade out across subsequent frames. All icons maintain consistent dimensions within a 48x48 pixel frame, with visible anti-aliasing on edges and subtle transparency effects during fading sequences.
