X Marks The Harbour

The map scene is the first one to start being animated and it was nice to see everyone's work coming together. Jan used the displacement technique to raise certain parts of the North American map, I applied the X and the dot, as well as the water to the scene and Mel animated the dashes that appear in the water. I am happy with the way the scene has come out, the lighting really helps to illuminate the movement of the water and the way that I have positioned the camera helps to explain the movement of the ships that is thought to be a trigger for the war. Given more time I think one of the major ways the scene could be improved would be to slow it down a bit more as once render and imported into Premier Pro it goes a bit fast.
