I am now half way through animating my last group of shots: the book. I firstly shot the writing and page turn shot.
Here is a test for the writing:
I then needed to shoot the tree blowing followed by it 'growing'. Here is a test for both of these shots:
I used fishing wire to create the tree blowing which I will need to remove in After FX. The hands in this test show how the tree should grow, at what speeds during different stages and twisting whilst growing.
