There's some colour banding issues that can be fixed later on and there have been some rigging issues with one of the characters. However, this should be roughly how the cheering animation will be set out. Lighting will be added later.

Trial using blend shapes and changing colour

Blend Shapes that change colour from Ruth Cann on Vimeo.

Here I have made three randomly shaped objects and used the blend shapes tool to merge them from on to the other, during my animation a cell morph's to show different types of cell, and before I tried to do this on my real work I wanted to have a trial run. It will also be changing colour so I added that into the trial too.

Redesign for Animation - Cell Cycle test

redesign during gap 1 phase from Ruth Cann on Vimeo.

Just a tryout to see how the animation would look like with a re-design , the G1 part of the chart would gently glow as well.

Pie Chart Test 1 - Maya

Pie Chart Test 1 from Ruth Cann on Vimeo.

This was my first try out using Maya to get a feel for what my Pie Chart would be doing during the video. I wanted it to rotate and softly pulse when the animation had begun a new Phase. I was also considering having the background change depending on what section of the Pie Chart the animation was on so children could match the theme colours with the different phases (The background would be a lighter version of the Pie Chart).
