Goals for the end of the week are to have the disintegrating trees for the wasteland shot and the destruction of the city simulation/animation. During my review I received critique that the mushroom cloud was to iconographic for the rest of the subtle tone in my film. After some brainstorming I decided to destroy my city with an asteroid crash. I will create a comet, using after effects techniques, and dust cloud, done in Houdini, will engulf the city and the viewer. When the dust clears it will reveal the wasteland.
Flower Animation
I have finally achieved a usable result for the flower animation, overall I am happy with what I was able to produce, but I think I might return to polish it up in the future.
