Reflecting upon my animation as a whole, I decided that I should begin with the water movement within my animation, as this is going to be the most difficult part of the whole thing, having never animated water before. At first I struggled to think of how to create a swirling column of water, as what I was trying to achieve went against the laws of physics and that made it really difficult to find any reference material to work from. But after watching a few Avatar episodes, I figured out how to create what I desired and I am quite pleased with the results. However, I have noticed that the water is very similar to that in Avatar and although I have used Avatar as a research point because I liked the colour choice and the style I should possibly try to make it a little more my own.
Once I had created the first 18 frames I realised that I was possibly too far zoomed in to the whole scene and had to zoom out. After overcoming my first little dilemma, I hit another one that is a lot more difficult. Now that I have my water column up in the air, I'm really struggling to figure out how to get my water column back down. I feel that looking at waterfalls and how they fall will help me to understand how to get my water to fall naturally.
