Probably my biggest After Effects Challenge....
Being the fool that i am, i have a dragon in my film. So a couple of issues there already on how to make the damn thing, but mainly… making a dragons head which can open its mouth out of 2d layers into a 3d model. Let Ragnarok Begin!

As a Break....
with Research and Concept crit in a couple of days, and knowing i can get the work done in time, but struggling to find a starting point, I am doing some sound recording, turns out my bedroom is a sound library, from the squeaky bed to the always slamming doors.
