i readily look back on this and think of making deskop versions of these. i loved how it came out and really wish i rendered it in higher resolutions. who knows, im sure desktop versions will surface one day ;)

about 4-5 hours in, i had some solid ground to work with:

unfortunately, this effect seemed too childish, and wasn't formal and business like enough, so the idea was scrapped and i started on a new concept, one that revolved more around something like
this style. when we agreed that this was the theme we wanted, i started revising and came up with these few shots:



which leads me up to where i am now, animating:



thats all for now!
