Scene 5: Firefly Forest

For the penultimate shot in this scene, I wanted to recreate the light ray forest - the shot that I came up with since the film needed more filler regarding setting.

Original Sunlight Forest

This is the original shot, located near the start of the film, where the light rays move across the screen and the dusty bits dance.

Firefly Forest

This is the shot that I've recreated. I'm glad that I animated the sky turning to night time with the last shot, it's a great transition. As you can see, I've changed the colours so that they're more suited to night time, and instead of animated light rays I've decided to animate little fireflies floating around.

This is the final shot I'll be using for my film. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. The colours are beautifully calming, especially after the vibrant sunset colours that I'd used in the last 3 shots. The fireflies are very dreamy, almost floating around lazily, and they give the forest the illusion of depth.
