Description Hi Guys,

Finally some activity from little old me, I've been pretty caught up in all kinds of commercial work again, but this test shot of the opening scene I did manage to produce in the late hours.

You can see the background in multiplane on youtube: [link]

The idea is to start out mysterious and show the remaining island vegetation in the most gracious but fragile way possible. I'm aware the trees wibble to much, and I want to replace the particles with animated fireflies, but that is all for later concern. I just wanted to share this little test with you because I think it's quite pretty.

Ik ben niet van plan om elke achtergrond in de animatie zo uitgewerkt te maken hoor. Alleen maar die paar die een stuk van het verhaal vertellen.

I'd like to come, but do you know from when to when the expo is? I can't find it on the website.

I hope it isn't the same weekend as the Klik animation festival (19-22 sept)

Really pretty. I only noticed the wobbling of the trees after I read your comment.

Really nice depth, I really like it. What program are you using to animate this? I have been planning a 2D animation for a while now and I'm not sure what I want to use just yet.

It's animated in Adobe After Effects.
