Live Brief - The Lifting Tower

Throughout the brief there were some implications with the group due to the fact that Thomas was very hard to get a hold of, he didn't come to any of the meetings we had and he didn't communicate with us (Katy and I) if wanted an animation doing for him.

it also took a long time for the animation itself to start because Charlie and I had to research on how to do morphing effects in after effects, also I had to teach Charlie how to use after effects as well. But once we understood how the effect was created I was able ti start animating. The morphing effects didn't actually take too lang to create, however Charlie was making all the assets for the animation so I had to wait for him to send the assets over before the animating could start.

Katy animated the sphere flying through the trees, However the idea changed a bit and the sphere turned into a flying worm that lighted up the trees as it passes through the area. We didn't really have any problems with that because if she needed any help I could easily help her due to us being room mates. I also made another animation based on there being different christmas symbols on the lifting tower and there is a spotlight which reveals them when it shines at the symbol.

It turned out that Thomas was working by himself and didn't need us to help him with is idea or his animation. This worked out well for the rest of us but it meant that it was one less piece of work to do.
