'monsters' by Beaumont

youtube_beaumont presents monsters

Here i'm looking at how the animation has layers.
Im focusing on the opening scene especially: tracking around the buildings. This gives the piece a lot of depth, and is a technique i want to include in my animation. I love the way it is flat layers, yet it gives this illusion of almost a 3D atmosphere.
This piece covers a lot of methods i wish to experiment with in my animation. There are elements of 3D and 2D, which work together in a lovely flowing manor. The piece is very imaginative and introduces some great illustration, which is definitely an aim for me in my self initiated project.
However, i am given 6 weeks to execute this brief, so at the moment i am breaking down my ideas, to set myself a realistic brief. So this mixture of 3D and 2D will have to be well thought through, and have rather simple designs.
