<p>The animation is only a few seconds. Initially I conceived this as a projection in Maya so I could have a camera transition and rotation that would come around the front hill to reveal the castle. I may revisit this, but this will be much later due to current time constraints. For the moment, however, a 2.5D layered After Effects animation will have to suffice.</p>

<p>Nathan and Kim, by the way, are probably the best two artists that I&#8217;ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Well worth checking their stuff out. Will profile them when time permits.</p>
