Day 2 wasn't smooth sailing. The intial plan of sculping a 3D plant out of plastercine/ coloured clay was a disaster.
After a late start our elegant flower that was supposed to represent hope looked like the haunted house spooky trees in Theme Park for the PS1. Something out of Scooby Doo, and when animated horrifying sinister. Absolutely not the vibe we are going for 👀
Again we decided to utilize our whiteboards and sculpt the plant flat, then shoot the animation backwards to simplify the process.
By starting with the very last frame and working in reverse, we benefit from knowing the outcome of the sequence in advance.
Day #1 See our drawing sprouting animation test.
