Here are the images best represent my work. The first 3 images are my final deliveries. Hope you'll like them.

As a means of communication, no other visual media rivals the short animation in its efficacy. It can make you laugh, cry, be horrified, believe, and disbelieve, all within 30 seconds. Some say a single frame leaves more space for people's imagination. However, with the combination of motion picture, soundtrack and story script, animations could lead you and sometimes force you to go into an atmosphere that a picture may never do. Atmosphere is the main theme I would like to explore. With the help of advanced animation tool, I can now simulate rapid crowd during a daytime event and condense an exhibition into a few seconds.

Here is my story board which shows some initial ideas and thoughts about this short animation. Atmosphere is the main theme I would like to explore. With the help of advanced animation tool, I can now simulate rapid crowd during a daytime event and condense an exhibition into a few seconds.

Here is some making-of footage explaining how to achieve the crowd effects.

Thanks everyone. I really learnt a lot during the making of this short animation. Can't wait to see everybody's great work. Cheers.
