This is my final animation for this body of work, I wanted to use a different aspect of blender this time. I decided to use a pinkish emitter to change the colour of the sheet ghost and how the light works within the scene. I have also kept it quite ambiguous with where the sheet is moving to, is it entering another mirror? Is it walking towards 'The Light'? etc.

As this piece is quite close to the sheet, I noticed some of the rocks on the floor merging into the sheet so I had to do a fair bit of editing and re-rendering when I noticed this.

Again I will be creating a soundscape to go along with the animation and hopefully that will work well with the scene and what it features.

For this piece of work I initially created this as a test piece working with keyframes and adding depth to an image. After completing this animation I found it appropriate to make it a part of one of my final works to be evaluated. I really like the way the sheet moves as the rig underneath it transverses the landscape, I also like how the grass looks in this render as well, It looks quite realistic. As I am making these renders I find that I have less and less to say while critiquing them because I am just using what I have learnt and working on my previous thoughts on what I like and do not like.

This animation was quite a fun one to make, I was inspired by The Myth of Sisyphus. The Myth of Sisyphus is a Greek myth where Sisyphus was punished by the gods to push a boulder up a mountain for it only to roll back down to the bottom once he reached the top.

The sheet in the animation is anchored to the mountain wandering to the top for the animation to loop over and over again. This can be seen in my final YouTube video which I will share at a later date.

I named this piece "Sisyphean Loop" to go with the soundtrack I created to go with it.

This is one of my favourite animations I have created so far.
