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.

With this piece, I wanted to create it like it was at the top of a mountain with the view of the landscape. The sheet ghost looking around before making a decision to enter the mirror. Similar to the last one. With this render I had a couple of issues with the landscape, I used another translucent to create the illusion of depth but I couldn't really get it right. It looks very white washed but then I remembered that air also has a colour, the atmosphere would give things a kind of white density over the landscape depending on the distance it is away from the viewer. With all these animations I am creating I am going to be adding a soundscape/track to the which can hopefully resonate to the animation and atmosphere I am going for. I am not too sure if I do like this one because of the way the sun falls upon the objects in the scene, but I do like how the sheet ghost moves with the wind and bushes moves with them.
