REFLECTION IN NOSTALGIA

MY character is based off one of my original characters, but I have played upon the effect of making something that is lifeless and giving it the false perception of life. MY model is composed of Material: Porcelain doll, Motion: Automaton, Meaning: Tea party set, I used these to create a scene of reflecting on ones self as she has been having tea party eternal, nut one fateful day that is all going to change. It happens when she is suddenly face to face with her future self realizing that it is pointless to live life without actually doing anything. Her name is Isabella and her personality type is dependent on what her surroundings are as she expresses everything with motion, beginning in a melancholy mood, turns from fright to utter delight when she has someone to have tea with.

Extra Processes I forgot mention......

When I was going through creating my animation there were so many possibilities and directions that I could have gone.... At one point I had used the lightning dynamic to create a sort of six pointed star adding to my theme of alchemy....

I had also tried working with fluids to create the liquid filling the vessel below, but was unable to make it work correctly and had to slightly cheap by using movement and a displacement map upon my translucent texture....

I had worked on trying to find out all possibilities within Dynamics like shatter and smoke though I was unable to figure them out... On a side note my render continued to render when I had canceled it... and that saved me as my other render was done in perspective.... so lucky..
