group brief progress

As my part of my current brief I need to work on an addition brief to create a portfolio/showreel piece. I have chosen to do this as a group brief along with Gareth to make a looping animation. Our idea is that a creature inside a cave will put its hand into a smaller crack and after pulling it out it will be covered with mushrooms which will take over the entire creature. At this point a huge hand will come in from the entrance of the cave and pull back out, only to show that is himself of another creature which will also be overtaken by mushrooms. At this point the animation can continue to loop.

During this Easter break we got all the filming done for this animation, and we should be able to get it done very fast, which would be good considering the limited time left. The filming went fairly well, the weather wasn't perfect but we had good light and only a little bit of trouble with rain. we bother got everything we needed, but to give us the range of shots we need for an animation inside a cave, we will have to use some footage that we filmed outside of the cave and mess with settings in after effects to make it look like night/inside a cave.

These are some pictures from near where we filmed out footage for our group piece.
