One Tree Planted Advert

This was my first project assigned to me in my 3rd year. We were tasked to create a short advert or sting with about 10 seconds of animation per person or relative to your role. I was in a group with 3 others which included another animator who animated the wolf character and then a lighter/compositor and an environment artist.

I approached this animation by creating a wing flap animation and a glide animation and used animation layers to blend between the two when needed, this created a quick and solid base for me to start polishing the animation and saved me a lot of time.

Overall, I think this project was a success, but we all felt as a group there was more that could be done to improve it as we had problems rendering and ran out of time for compositing.
