Scene 1 – Window Scene

The opening scene of my animations tarts with a black screen for a second before having 2 sections in the middle split apart. This is to give them impression of opening a window as I wanted to make this scene as if it was from the Farmer’s eyes. This is why when he looks through the window he sees his flock of geese on the farm.

The camera then moves forward out of the window to give the view from the farmer’s perspective. The camera travels forward out of the windows and then pans around the sky. Here the camera sees a set of clouds and the sunshine in a bright blue sky. This is to show that it is a nice day and sunny/blue skis usually implies happiness. The camera then focuses back to the geese. It then zooms in on one goose. This is the main Goose in my animation who eventually produces a golden Egg. The scene ends when the camera has zoomed in on the animal.

I originally had only the main goose in the scene but it looked too bland and it needed something else so I thought about adding more Geese. These geese have pre-set animations made for the biped in a separate file so I was able to simply merge them in and just edit the timelines accordingly.

I feel that one of the strongest parts of this scene is the lighting. As the farmer opens up the windows an “omnilight” rises as if it is the sun rising. This gives a great affect of the scenery being very dark as the window as opening but by the time it has fully opened the scene is light and the sun has risen.
